This Bird Has Flown A Novel by Susanna Hoffs

A delightfully funny & steamy debut novel about music, fate, redemption, & love from beloved songwriter & Bangles co-founder Susanna Hoffs that is "part British romcom, part Jane Eyre, & one hundred percent enjoyable" (Tom Perrotta). 

"A total knockout . . . The smart, ferocious rock-star redemption romance you didn’t know you needed." —New York Times Book Review 

Jane Start is thirty-three, broke, & recently single. Ten years prior, she had a hit song—written by world-famous superstar Jonesy—but Jane hasn’t had a breakout since. Now she's living out of four garbage bags at her parents’ house, reduced to performing to Karaoke tracks in Las Vegas. Rock bottom. 
 
But when her longtime manager Pippa sends Jane to London to regroup, she’s seated next to an intriguing stranger on the flight—the other Tom Hardy, an elegantly handsome Oxford professor of literature. Jane is instantly smitten by Tom, & soon, truly inspired. But it’s not Jane’s past alone that haunts her second chance at stardom, & at love. Is Tom all that he seems? And can Jane emerge from the shadow of Jonesy's earlier hit, & into the light of her own?
 
In turns deeply sexy, riotously funny, & utterly joyful, This Bird Has Flown explores love, passion, & the ghosts of our past, & offers a glimpse inside the music business that could only come from beloved songwriter Susanna Hoffs.
