A review by carolrinke
Silver Sparrow by Tayari Jones

3.0

Sue recommended this to me a couple of years ago. I finally read it recently and just afterwards Mari also commended it at our 2016 book club planning meeting. The idea of the bigamist father, his first and "legitimate" family living a life knowing nothing of the second secret family. The burden of the secret family living in second place made me sorry for them. What a tangled mess. Tayari Jones did well making the lives real. It also makes you think. And count your blessings. 3-4 stars. I enjoyed it and would recommend it but don't feel like "Wow, you can't miss this book".
