Manning, the daughter of a naval officer, produced her first novel, The Wind Changes, in 1937. Two years later she married Reginald Donald Smith, drama writer and producer for the British Broadcasting Corporation. In 1951 she published School for Love, the story of a 16-year-old boy in war-ravaged Jerusalem, notable for its characterization of the central figure, the repellent Miss Bohun.

Manning’s main body of work is the Balkan Trilogy (The Great Fortune, 1960; The Spoilt City, 1962; Friends and Heroes, 1965). These three books, set in Bucharest, trace the relationship between Guy Pringle, a British cultural representative, and his wife, Harriet, against a background of the shifting balance of power in Europe. A Levant Trilogy (The Danger Tree, 1978; The Battle Lost and Won, 1979; The Sum of Things, 1980) followed.
