SONGBIRDS
Εκδότης Zaffre , ISBN 9781786580856
'I've never read anything quite like Songbirds - a beautifully crafted novel that
sits at the intersection of race and class.' Jodi Picoult
She walks unseen through our world.
Cares for our children, cleans our homes.
Her voice unheard.
She has a story to tell.
Will you listen?
Nisha has crossed oceans to give her child a future. By day she cares for Petra's
daughter; at night she mothers her own little girl by the light of a phone. Nisha's
lover, Yiannis, is a poacher, hunting the tiny songbirds on their way to Africa each
winter. His dreams of a new life, and of marrying Nisha, are shattered when she
vanishes. No one cares about the disappearance of a domestic worker, except
Petra and Yiannis. As they set out to search for her, they realise how little they
know about Nisha. What they uncover will change them all.
Set in her native Cyprus, Christy Lefteri has crafted a powerful, redemptive
story of loss, of the triumph of the human spirit, and of the enduring love of a
mother for her child.
