WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE

Virginia Miner, a fifty-something, unmarried tenured professor, is in London to work on her new book about children's folk rhymes. Despite carrying a U.S. passport, Vinnie feels essentially English and rather looks down on her fellow Americans. But in spite of that, she is drawn into a mortifying and oddly satisfying affair with an Oklahoman tourist who dresses more Bronco Billy than Beau Brummel.

Also in London is Vinnie's colleague Fred Turner, a handsome, flat broke, newly separated, and thoroughly miserable young man trying to focus on his own research. Instead, he is distracted by a beautiful and unpredictable English actress and the world she belongs to.

Both American, both abroad, and both achingly lonely, Vinnie and Fred play out their confused alienation and dizzying romantic liaisons in Alison Lurie's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. Smartly written, poignant, and witty, Foreign Affairs remains an enduring comic masterpiece.

"A splendid comedy, very bright, brilliantly written in a confident and original manner. The best book by one of our finest writers."
-Elizabeth Hardwick

"There is no American writer I have read with more constant pleasure and sympathy. . . . Foreign Affairs earns the same shelf as Henry James and Edith Wharton."
-John Fowles

"If you manage to read only a few good novels a year, make this one of them."
-USA Today

"An ingenious, touching book."
-Newsweek

"A flawless jewel."

Gentle but removes makeup really well
Style: 16.7 fl oz
I really like this micellar water. I used to use a different brand, but I feel like this one does a better job removing my makeup while still being gentle on my skin. I have sensitive skin with rosacea, and I wear liner, mascara, and eyeshadow daily. This removes everything from my eyes without needing a lot of rubbing or effort, which I really appreciate. After using it, my skin feels very clean but also soft, not stripped or dry. Overall, this has become my favorite micellar water and I’ll definitely keep repurchasing it.

Love this stuff!
Style: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Literally the only micellar water that does not break me out. I have cystic acne prone skin, and my skin loves this stuff! Very gentle on the eyes and skin as a whole, while getting the makeup and dirt off well!

Bioderma Makeup remover
Style: 16.7 fl oz, Style: 16.7 fl oz
I like this product — the gentle formula cleanses, hydrates, and protects my face well. I usually use it in the morning before putting on makeup rather than at night. I gave it 4 stars because the top/cap comes off easily. Other than that that works well for my skin

Gentle makeup remover that works well
Style: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this micellar water and really appreciate that it comes in a travel size. It’s gentle on the skin and works well for removing makeup without irritation. It’s easy to use and convenient for trips or keeping in a bag. Overall, it’s a great cleanser that I would definitely use again.
