The Stones of Florence and Venice Observed
Features vivid and perceptive descriptions of two great Italian cities, Florence and Venice, told through their history and art. The author depicts Florence through its tempestuous past, from the reign of the Medicis to Savonarola's bonfire of the vanities, and Venice as a city of illusion and spectacle, and carnival and commerce.

Her other novels include Cast a Cold Eye (1950), The Groves of Academe (1952), Birds of America (1971), and Cannibals and Missionaries (1979). Among her volumes of nonfiction are Venice Observed (1956), The Stones of Florence (1959), Vietnam (1967), The Mask of State: Watergate Portraits (1974), Ideas and the Novel (1980), and How I Grew (1987).
