Alison talks to author Hannah Pittard about her latest novel Visible Empire. Set in Atlanta in 1962, the book follows the lives of people who are reconstructing their lives after great loss. The story was inspired in part by the crash of Air France Flight 007, which killed more than 100 of Atlanta's wealthiest civic leaders and arts patrons.

Hannah Pittard was born in Atlanta in 1978. She lived here for the first 14 years of her life before moving to Massachusetts to attend boarding school.

Before Visible Empire, Hannah wrote the novels Listen to Me, Reunion, and The Fates Will Find Their Way. She teaches fiction in the MFA program at the University of Kentucky and lives in Lexington.
