Description
Curtis Sittenfeld writes literary novels of women's lives that chronicle young girls and women as they literally come of age. Sittenfeld mostly concerns herself with situations of privilege, and her work tends to be loosely based on her own experiences or, as with American Wife, on the life of a public figure.
