This Bird Has Flown by Susanna Hoff (Rabbi Matthew Simon’s niece and a suggested light fun summer read by Rabbi Simon)
Jane Start is thirty-three, broke, and recently single. Ten years prior, she had a hit song but Jane hasn’t had a breakout since. Now she's living out of four garbage bags at her parents’ house, reduced to performing Karaoke tracks in Las Vegas. But when her longtime manager sends Jane to London to regroup, she’s seated next to an intriguing stranger on the flight and Jane is instantly smitten, and soon, truly inspired. In turns deeply sexy, riotously funny, and utterly joyful, This Bird Has Flown explores love, passion, and the ghosts of our past, and offers a glimpse inside the music business that could only come from beloved songwriter Susanna Hoffs.
