Janet Fitch writes literary fiction about women navigating unstable families, art, ambition and difficult relationships. White Oleander follows Astrid Magnussen through a series of foster homes after her charismatic mother Ingrid is imprisoned for murder, with each household changing Astrid's understanding of survival and attachment. Paint It Black centres on Josie Tyrell after her boyfriend's suicide and the tense relationship she develops with his mother. The Revolution of Marina M. moves into historical fiction through a young woman living through the Russian Revolution and civil war. Fitch's novels are intense, image-rich and character-led, with damaged family bonds and reinvention recurring across very different settings. Her work fits contemporary literary fiction, foster-care fiction and historical coming-of-age. Read more Less
