A kaleidoscopic portrait of nineteenth-century Paraguay, a largely untouched wilderness where Europeans and North Americans intermingle with both the old Spanish aristocracy and native Guarani Indians, Winner of the 2004 National Book Award. 6) "Woman of Rome: A Life of Elsa Morante" (2008) - Wonderfully researched with the cooperation of the Morante Estate, filled with personal interviews, and written in graceful and succinct prose. "Woman of Rome" introduces the American reader to a woman of fierce intelligence, powerful imagination, and original talent. 7) "I Married You for Happiness" (2011) - Not only an elegant meditation on the theory of probability and how chance can affect both a life and one's consideration of the possibility of an afterlife. 8) :The House at Belle Fontaine" (2013) - These elegantly conceived, intimate stories span the better part of the twentieth century and almost every continent, revealing apprehensions, passions, secrets and tragedies among lovers, spouses, landlords and tenants, and lifelong friends. 9) "The Double Life of Liliane" (2015) - Her most autobiographical novel to date, an intimate and poignant coming-of-age portrait of the writer as a young woman. 10) "Sisters" (2018) - A seductive short novel of secrecy, jealousy, and desire in a new marriage from its stirring inception through its provocative conclusion.
