Silver Sparrow

Product Information

The Village Voice “Jones is a master and Silver Sparrow is a revelation, alive with meaning and hope.” With the opening line of Silver Sparrow, “My father, James Witherspoon is a bigamist,” Tayari Jones unveils a breathtaking story about a man’s deception, a family’s complicity, and the teenage girls caught in the middle.

This is my first book I've read by Tayari Jones. I enjoyed it very much. The majority of story takes place during the 1980s in Atlanta. "Atlanta ain't nothing but a country town". Once fully executed, Silver Sparrow leaves two scripts on an infected disk: /tmp/agent.sh and ~/Library/Application Support/verx_updater/verx.sh. Chaurisse is meek and innocent. Her part of the story is amazing in its illumination. What one girl saw was totally different from what the other experienced. Jones writes different points-of-view in such a way that you want to re-read what the other sister experienced. What I loved most of this novel is when I read Chaurisse’s part, and what I thought as fact from Dana’s part becomes gray. I do love stories that show the messiness of life, the differences of perspective, the well-intentioned acts turning wrong. And this story provides that in spades. The first half of the book is told by Dana Lynn Yarboro .(Gwen's daughter). Dana tells us how her mother and James first met. ( gift wrapping counter). Dana's mother knew James was married. His other daughter, Chaurisse, was never a secret.

On the surface, Silver Sparrow is centred around a relatively rare situation – a man with a secret second family – but the book raises pertinent questions about modern family life. “A lot of us have unconventional families,” says Jones. “I met someone just yesterday who had read Silver Sparrow and said, ‘My father remarried, and I got demoted from a daughter to a niece.’ This is not uncommon at all. And it’s something that I don’t think we’ve discussed fully – how that feels.”I have never read a story that even comes close to what Tayari Jones has created. Jones created a distinctive story, that engages the reader from beginning to end. Silver Sparrow revolves around Dana Lynn Yarboro and Chaurisse Witherspoon, who are half-sisters, although only Dana knows this. Now, I can't believe that because you know.. the look of him.. he don't look like doodely squat with them big ole' Coke bottle glasses and he's short!" Other signs of sophistication are evident in the malware’s construction. For instance, to start its installation, Silver Sparrow uses the macOS Installer JavaScript API to execute suspicious commands, the analysis found. That’s an unusual approach, according to Red Canary. Jones herself is a child of a second marriage, although “there is no scandal there,” she clarifies. “My father is not a bigamist. But I also say to people, ‘My father is not a bigamist that I know of. Just as your father is not a bigamist that you know of.’ That’s part of the mystery of fatherhood.” She has two sisters, but they lived “600 miles away”, while Jones grew up with their father. “I’ve always wondered what their lives were like; what they thought of me; what they thought of the family that I grew up in,” Jones says. “I wrote Silver Sparrow as a gift to my sisters.”
