Tayari Jones

Set in a middle-class neighborhood in Atlanta in the 1980s, Tayari Jones' novel, Silver Sparrow (Algonquin, $19.95), revolves around James Witherspoon’s two families—the public one and the secret one. When the daughters from each family meet and form a friendship, only one of them knows they are sisters. It is a relationship destined to explode when secrets are revealed and illusions shattered.  “A graceful and shining work about finding the truth,” says Kirkus.
