She wrote three novels spread out over 34 years. We'll start with her third novel, Sleepless Nights (1979).

Sleepless Nights is an account of a woman looking back on her life, the parade of people and the shifting backgrounds of place, memories, letters, and dreams. This lyrical novel is considered Hardwick's best work.
