Jane Green is considered to be one of the founding authors of the “chick lit.” genre. Her 1997 first novel Straight Talking made her an overnight success and her second novel, Jemima J, became an international bestseller. Her first books were often reviewed as ”the kind of novel you’ll gobble up in a single sitting,” but now Jane writes more complex, character-driven novels that explore the concerns of real women’s lives. These cover marriage (The Other Woman) to motherhood (Babyville)and the complexities of having grown-up children (The Sunshine Sisters)
