The Yellow Bird Sings


 
“The Yellow Bird Sings” by Jennifer Rosner
Published by Flatiron Books
 
The writing in this book is simply beautiful, making it a wonderful read.  It’s historical fiction taking place in WWII Poland, in which a mother and her young daughter are forced into hiding.  To try to keep her daughter quiet, she tells her the story of a yellow bird that will sing whatever tune is in your head while being quiet.  The imaginary bird not only helps keep her quiet but also instills a greater love of music.  The yellow bird and the mother/daughter bond play a large part in their struggle to survive. 
 
Sidenote, I found out that this is the author’s debut novel.  Knowing that makes this book even more impressive.  I will be adding her 2nd novel, Once We Were Home, to my list of books to read.
 
Finished 8/27 – 5/5 stars
