Title
Jane Green, author of The Other Woman
Description
Jane Green was a disaster at University, discovered writing soon afterwards, and went on to work as a journalist throughout her twenties, for various national newspapers and magazines in her home town of London. At twenty seven, inspired by Nick Hornby’s High Fidelity, she decided to give up her job on the Daily Express, and write a real woman’s account of what it was like being single in the city.
Luckily it paid off. Three months later she signed her first publishing deal, and Straight Talking, her (allegedly) largely-autobiographical first novel, became a huge bestseller and together with Bridget Jones’s Diary launched the phenomenon that came to be known as ‘chick lit’.
Just after the release of Straight Talking, Jane met her American husband, and two years after that they moved across the Atlantic to Connecticut. Four years and four children later (yes, it does include a set of twins), Jane is currently at work on her eighth novel, (despite it being harder and harder to work up the energy and discipline to write . . .), preparing to go off on tour around the States for the hardback launch of The Other Woman (March 8th), getting the house ready for Bingo, a lurcher (greyhound cross) who’s arriving from Florida in two weeks who will hopefully befriend Palmer, the house dog, looking after four children under the age of five, attempting to clean up the garden before Spring, and thinking of what she can possibly do with chicken breasts for supper tonight again.
