It was her second novel, the first being called Quicksand, as I think Catlady pointed out a while back in the thread. Perhaps the ambiguities are more because we don’t know the times, the place or the sorts of people of whom she writes. Apparently it was well thought of at the time. But it is true she did not write much - a handful of short stories apart from the two longer works. It doesn’t seem to be known why she stopped writing, but her personal situation changed, and that may well have had an influence.
