Silver Sparrow: A Novel

**From the *New York Times* Bestselling Author of *An American Marriage*** "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** 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*).
