Silver Sparrow
With the opening line of Silver Sparrow, "My father, James Witherspoon, is a bigamist," author Tayari Jones unveils a breathtaking story about a man's deception, a family's complicity, and the two teenage girls caught in the middle.
Set in a middle-class neighbourhood in Atlanta in the 1980s, the novel revolves around James Witherspoon's two families—the public one and the secret one. When the daughters from each family meet and form a friendship, only one of them knows they are sisters. It is a relationship destined to explode.
This is the third stunning novel from an author deemed "one of the most important writers of her generation" (Atlanta Journal-Constitution).
"A love story ... Full of perverse wisdom and proud joy ... Jones's skill for wry understatement never wavers." --O: The Oprah Magazine
Silver Sparrow will break your heart before you even know it. Tayari Jones has written a novel filled with characters I'll never forget. This is a book I'll read more than once." --Judy Blume
