Jane Hamilton is the author of eight novels, two of which have been selected for Oprah’s Book Club.
Her newest book, The Phoebe Variations, is a coming of age story set in the 1970s. After reluctantly meeting her birth family, 18-year-old Phoebe runs away from her adoptive mother’s home and temporarily lands at her friend’s home, a household with 14 children, a decision that alters the rest of her life.
I recently spoke with Jane Hamilton about The Phoebe Variations.
