Foreign Affairs

'If you're coming to Lurie for the first time, you must begin with the Pulitzer Prize-winning *Foreign Affairs*' *Guardian*

Vinnie Miner is an American professor of children's literature on her way to London for six months of research. Settling into her aeroplane seat she finds herself accosted by Chuck, a brash engineer wearing cowboy boots. She never imagines she'll see him again. But wet, windy London turns out to be the setting for fresh beginnings, and for Vinnie, a place to take up space, breathe the air, and to refuse to become a minor character in one's own life.

*Foreign Affairs* is a comic, heart-wrenching masterpiece of unexpected romance.
