Poland, 1941. A mother. A child. An impossible choice.
Poland, 1941. Roza and her five-year-old daughter, Shira, are the only surviving Jews in their town. They spend day and night hidden in a neighbour’s barn. Forbidden from making a sound, only the yellow bird from her mother’s stories can sing the melodies Shira composes in her head.
Roza does all she can to take care of Shira and shield her from the horrors of the outside world. They play silent games and invent their own sign language. But then the day comes when their haven is no longer safe, and Roza must face an impossible choice: whether the best thing she can do for her daughter is keep her close by her side, or give her the chance to survive by letting her go . . .
<i>The Yellow Bird Sings</i> by Jennifer Rosner is a powerfully captivating and deeply affecting novel about the unbreakable bond between parent and child and the triumph of humanity and hope in even the darkest circumstances.
