Tayari Jones - Silver Sparrow

In her third novel, the author of Leaving Atlanta and The Untelling chronicles the two families of a bigamist. James’s daughters are born four months apart and despite his best efforts to prevent it, meet and become friends. While they share a biological father, their material and emotional circumstances are strikingly different, and Jones skillfully contrasts their distinct coming-of-age stories.

Tayari Jones will give an author talk at Politics & Prose on Tuesday, May 31 at 7 p.m.
