Join us for what is sure to be a very intense book club discussion of Silver Sparrow by Tayari Jones
About this Event
Reading the reviews of Silver Sparrow by Tayari Jones will make one want to speed-read the novel.
“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
“Silver Sparrow grabs you with a first sentence that manages to be both matter of fact and mysterious and refuses to release you until she has finished a story that takes you deep into the lives of a family that is anything but ordinary. Graceful writing and careful attention to details have always been on display in Jones’s writing, but with this novel, she has found her own dazzlingly original voice, and in her hands, a sparrow suddenly becomes a soaring songbird.”
—Pearl Cleage, author of Till You Hear from Me
“Jones’ women . . . are all drawn well, from the sisters and their mothers to minor characters . . . Jones gives us permission to love all of [her novel’s] women, though they are flawed and often refuse to love each other. That’s a recipe for great book club discussions, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Silver Sparrow featured in many.”
—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
The Lincoln Branch Book Club Discussion Meetings are Hybrid; Zoom Info will be provided a few days before the meeting.
