Three of her works are included in the library collection, with representative titles such as Yonder, The Misses Mallett and Moor Fires. Her writing most often depicts English middle-class life, with close attention to personal relationships and emotional shifts within everyday situations. In 1930 her novel Miss Mole won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, a recognition that is among the better-known marks of her career. Overall, her fiction is noted for its realistic portrayal of middle-class domestic life and character psychology, giving her a place in early twentieth-century British fiction.
