Folly by Susan Minot
This is the story of Lilian Eliot, whom we first encounter as a teen-ager in 1917 Boston. We follow her through a tormenting wartime romance and a difficult marriage into a hard-earned kind of peace. There are echoes in this novel, of great romance of the past, and great authors such as Henry James and Jane Austen. It is not foolish-ness that Minot writes about but the growth of wisdom.
Susan Minot was born in Boston in 1956 and now lives in New York City. Monkeys, her first novel, was published in 1986, for which she won the prestigious French award the Prix Femina Etranger. In 1989 she published a collection of short stories, Lust & Other Stories, and in 1992 her second novel, Folly.
