The Complete Works of E.M. Delafield [project]
Having only read Consequences, I was so impressed by it that I really want to read more by Delafield. I may even go as far as to say that this one book convinced me that I want to explore her whole oeuvre.
List based on the wikipedia entry to her name and the kind help of Marie Cooper in the comments.

Just to let you know that you are missing a couple of books from your list: House Party (1931) andTo See Ourselves (a play, 1932). And just so you know, First Love is the US title of What is Love and A Good Man’s Love is the US version of Thank Heaven Fasting. I am also a fan (obviously!) and have all of her books save only the The Sincerest Form and the short story A Perfectly True Story. Happy reading! She is a marvellous author. Marie
Thank you so much! I am not in the US, so the chance that I encounter the US titles is very small, but it is good to have a more complete overview. Thanks for the three added titles as well. This means I have even more to read by Delafield, which is wonderful news.
And you also missed General Impressions (1933). That’s now the complete list as far as I’m aware! Marie
