Silver Sparrow

Silver Sparrow

<b>From the <i>New York Times</i> Bestselling Author of <i>An American Marriage</i></b><br /><br /> “A love story . . . Full of perverse wisdom and proud joy . . . Jones’s skill for wry understatement never wavers.”<br /> —<i><b>O: The Oprah Magazine</b></i><br /><br /> “<i>Silver Sparrow</i> 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.”<br /> —<b>Judy Blume</b><br /><br /> With the opening line of <i>Silver Sparrow</i>, "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.<br /><br /> Set in a middle-class neighborhood 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" (<i>the Atlanta Journal Constitution</i>).
