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 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" (the "Atlanta Journal Constitution").
