Publisher's Synopsis
Jean Stafford made a bold entrance onto the American literary scene in 1944 when her first novel, Boston Adventure became a surprise best seller. She followed up this initial success with two more acclaimed novels, The Mountain Lion and The Catherine Wheel, and became a prolific writer of short stories for prominent magazines. In later years serious health problems made it increasingly difficult for her to write, and after her death she became a somewhat overlooked figure in 20th-century American literature. Complete Novels allows readers to rediscover the author at the height of her powers.
