SUSANNA HOFFS co-founded the Bangles in 1981 and the group went on to record and release a string of chart-topping singles including “Manic Monday,” “Walk Like an Egyptian,” “Hazy Shade of Winter,” and “Eternal Flame” – which she co-wrote – before embarking on a solo career. The Bird Has Flown: A Novel (Little, Brown and Company) is her first book.
