· Jane Hamilton lives, works, and writes in an orchard farmhouse in Wisconsin. Her short stories have appeared in Harper's Magazine, and her first book, The Book of Ruth, was awarded the PEN/Hemingway Foundation Award for best first novel. Seven years after its publication, The Book of Ruth was chosen for Oprah's Book Club, giving it a second life. I really think that Jane Hamilton did a good job with Ruth's language and her thoughts. She built a perfect character. And I think she did a super job with the relationship between Ruth and her mother. Read more. 5 people found this helpful. Helpful. Report abuse.
