From the New York Times bestselling author of An American Marriage.

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).

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
