In 1965, two engineers in New Jersey tried to blame pigeons for a noise that would not go away. The noise turned out to be the oldest light in the universe, still arriving from every direction at once, cooling by one ten-billionth of a degree with every minute that passes. That light has been called the afterglow of the Big Bang — a phrase that is, strictly speaking, wrong. The cosmic background radiation is not the universe being born. It is the universe becoming transparent, roughly three hundred eighty thousand years after an event that had already quietly set the stage.

For her first novels, written in Knoxville, Tennessee and published in New York, she drew upon her knowledge of life and speech of the Lancashire working classes.
