Silver Sparrow
by Tayari Jones
“My father, James Witherspoon, is a bigamist.”
Silver Sparrow is a story of two half-sisters, both have very different lives, but their father is a bigamist. The novel starts with Dana, who is the secret daughter of James Witherspoon. She knows about her father's other family and is aware of her half-sister, Chaurisse. Her life choices are dictated by the life choices of Chaurisse.
Chaurisse and her mother are wholly unaware of James' secret double life. Chaurisse narrative follows what happens when the two sisters meet, become friends and the inevitable fall out that occurs.
Brilliant vivid story telling and wonderful charactisation. I was left with wanting the story to continue.
