Description

Boy Snow Bird by Helen Oyeyemi is a deeply moving novel about an unbreakable bond between three women. When Boy turns twenty and decides to start anew, she finds herself in Flax Hill, Massachusetts, the last stop on her bus route from New York. It's here that she meets Arturo Whitman, father of Snow, a mild-mannered girl who is utterly beguiling. As their lives become intertwined, Boy begins to question the image her family has presented to her, and the connection between them becomes increasingly complex. The arrival of Bird, Snow's sister, sets off a chain of events that forces Boy to re-evaluate everything she thought she knew about herself and those around her. Sparkling with wit and vibrancy, this novel is a powerful exploration of the strange connections between women. Helen Oyeyemi's writing confirms her place as one of the most original and dynamic literary voices of her generation, crafting a story that is both deeply moving and utterly captivating.
