'Will break your heart and open your eyes' Heather Morris, author
of The Tattooist of Auschwitz 'I've never read anything quite like
Songbirds - a beautifully crafted novel.' Jodi Picoult, bestselling
author of Wish You Were Here. Her courage to cross oceans. Her hope
for a better life. Her love for a daughter, above all else. Not all
tragedies make headlines, not every voice is heard. Nisha has
crossed oceans to give her child a future. Now she spends her days
caring for someone else's daughter while her own waits for her
return, half a world away. For Petra, it is only natural to hire a
domestic worker to keep her house clean and her family fed. Their
lives have nothing in common, except the love they feel for their
daughters. Then one day, Nisha vanishes. No one cares about the
disappearance of a foreign domestic worker, except Petra and
Nisha's secret lover, Yiannis, the only connection to her daughter
back in Sri Lanka. As Petra and Yiannis desperately search for
Nisha, they realise how little they knew about her. What they
uncover will change them both forever. Inspired by true stories of
love and loss, hope and refuge, this evocative masterpiece from the
million-copy bestselling author of The Beekeeper of Aleppo, Christy
Lefteri, is an illuminating story of the power of the human spirit,
and the enduring love of a mother for her child, that will stay
with you long after you finish reading. Praise for Christy Lefteri:
'This thought-provoking novel of love loss and redemption is
thoroughly sublime.' Caroline Montague 'Lefteri is an astonishing
weaver of stories.' Daljit Nagra ' . . . broke my heart and kept me
turning the pages of her gorgeous novel well into the night.' Alka
Joshi, NYT-bestselling author of The Henna Artist and The Secret
Keeper of Jaipur 'Christy Lefteri has crafted a beautiful novel,
intelligent, thoughtful, and relevant.' Benjamin Zephaniah on The
Beekeeper of Aleppo ' . . . it's impossible not to be moved by
Lefteri's plea for humanity and perhaps inspired too.' Observer, on
The Beekeeper of Aleppo 'Courageous, proactive, haunting.' Heather
Morris, on The Beekeeper of Aleppo
