Step into the lives of two American academics in London in Alison Lurie’s novel, 'Foreign Affairs.' Vinnie Miner, a fifty-four-year-old professor of children’s literature, embarks on a research trip to England. She prefers solitude and isn’t expecting romance, but fate has other plans. Meanwhile, her colleague, Fred Turner, a young and attractive literature professor, is also in London, grappling with the fallout from his troubled marriage. Their stories unfold against the backdrop of the vibrant and sometimes bewildering city of London. Vinnie unexpectedly finds love with Chuck Mumpson, a boisterous and unrefined tourist from Tulsa, while Fred becomes entangled with Lady Rosemary Radley, an alluring British actress. As their lives intersect and diverge, they both discover surprising truths about themselves and their desires. 'Foreign Affairs' offers a charming and poignant look at how we navigate relationships and personal growth.
