Jane Smiley has two collected works listed here, both from the late 1980s. The Age of Grief came out in 1987, and Ordinary Love and Good Will: Two Novellas followed in 1989. As the second title makes clear, these are novella-length works rather than full novels.
The two books can be read in either order. They were published just two years apart and fall under the novellas genre.
