À propos de cet audio

Set in a middle-class neighborhood in Atlanta in the 1980s, Silver Sparrow 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 when secrets are revealed and illusions shattered. As Jones explores the backstories of her rich yet flawed characters - the father, the two mothers, the grandmother, and the uncle - she also reveals the joy, as well as the destruction, they brought to one another's lives. At the heart of it all are the two lives at stake, and like the best writers - think Toni Morrison with The Bluest Eye - Jones portrays the fragility of these young girls with raw authenticity as they seek love, demand attention, and try to imagine themselves as women, just not as their mothers.

Loved it, good read. A story of two sisters and a too real of reality to many.
Recommend read and narrator did an amazing job.

I loved An American Marriage, so decided to try this book by same author. The story is touching but not as gripping as I would have liked. I’m glad I finished it, but it’s a book that left me feeling like “that’s it?” Overall a good read, just not a favorite for me.
