1950's I think.

The novels takes place in the early 1930's, and deals with a rich young NY woman whose family has lost a lot in the crash.
She marries a mining engineer and moves to a small AZ town with him.

Her husband has some interpersonal difficulties at the mine, and ultimately the couple go looking for gold. Toward the end,
I couldn't put the book down; I had to know what happened.

Anya Seton has written some other good stuff too. KATHERINE, one I've read, is a historical novel (14th Century) which is quite good.

1. Do not know that one.

I've read several novels by Anya Seton. My personal favorite is Green Darkness. I'd not heard of Foxfire but I'll look for it.

2. Anya Seton

I've read quite a few of her novels but historical fiction is my favorite genre anyway. I missed that one though, I will add it to my list.
I LOVED Katherine, also Avalon (10th century England), The Winthrop Woman (early America), and Dragonwyck (NY, 1800s). Also read My Theodosia, not as good as the others but still enjoyed it. Right now I'm just about done with "And Ladies of the Club", which starts right after the Civil War in Waynsboro, IN. It's good, but a little dry? Not sure how to describe it. It is interesting historically but she doesn't seem to get that emotionally involved with the characters (there are quite a few to keep track of as well).
