In her later work, especially that beginning in the 1990s, she largely concentrates on the same generationÑgrown older, more ruminative, but not happierÑand their often listless progeny. In these works Beattie often employs a much less minimalist style and achieves a new emotional depth as she explores themes that include the sadnesses of middle age and the alienation of characters whose relationships and very lives seem inevitably to falter.
