Heather Morris, the author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, has written a novel that is truly unique. I have never read anything quite like Songbirds. Jodi Picoult, the bestselling author of Wish You Were Here, has praised it as a beautifully crafted novel.
Nisha's courage to cross oceans and her hope for a better life are truly inspiring. Her love for her daughter, above all else, is a testament to her strength and determination.
Not all tragedies make headlines, and not every voice is heard. Nisha has risked everything to give her child a future, and now she spends her days caring for someone else's daughter, while her own waits for her return, half a world away.
Petra hires a domestic worker to keep her house clean and her family fed. Their lives have nothing in common, except the love they feel for their daughters.
Then, one day, Nisha vanishes. No one cares about the disappearance of a foreign domestic worker, except Petra and Nisha's secret lover, Yiannis, the only connection to her daughter back in Sri Lanka.
As Petra and Yiannis desperately search for Nisha, they realize how little they knew about her. What they uncover will change them both forever.
Songbirds is inspired by true stories of love and loss, hope and refuge. It is an illuminating story of the power of the human spirit and the enduring love of a mother for her child.
Christy Lefteri, the million-copy bestselling author of The Beekeeper of Aleppo, has written a masterpiece that will stay with you long after you finish reading.
Praise for Songbirds has been pouring in. Caroline Montague has described it as a thought-provoking novel of love, loss, and redemption that is thoroughly sublime. Daljit Nagra has praised Lefteri as an astonishing weaver of stories. Alka Joshi, the NYT-bestselling author of Th., has said that it broke her heart and kept her turning the pages of the gorgeous nove l well into the night.
Songbirds is a must-read for anyone who loves a powerful and emotional story. It is a testament to the human spirit and the enduring love of a mother for her child.
