Two sisters are suddenly sent from their home in Brooklyn to Barbados to live with their grandmother, in this stunning debut novelThis lyrical novel of community, betrayal, and love centers on an unforgettable matriarchal family in Barbados. Two sisters, ages ten and sixteen, are exiled from Brooklyn to Bird Hill in Barbados after their mother can no longer care for them. The young Phaedra and her older sister, Dionne, live for the summer of 1989 with their grandmother Hyacinth, a midwife and practitioner of the local spiritual practice of obeah.Dionne spends the summer in search of love, testing her grandmothers limits, and wanting to go home. Phaedra explores Bird Hill, where her family has lived for generations, accompanies her grandmother in her role as a midwife, and investigates their mothers mysterious life.This tautly paced coming-of-age story builds to a crisis when the father they barely know comes to Bird Hill to reclaim his daughters, and both Phaedra and Dionne must choose between the Brooklyn they once knew and loved or the Barbados of their family.Jacksons Barbados and her characters are singular, especially the wise Hyacinth and the heartbreaking young Phaedra, who is coming into her own as a young woman amid the tumult of her family.Praise for The Star Side of Bird HillJackson has written a first novel full of heart and heartbreak, a novel about going home, about the ties that bind three generations of women across years and despite absence. It is a bittersweet lesson in learning to recognize love.Ayana Mathis, author of The Twelve Tribes of Hattie (Oprahs Book Club 2.0 selection)Naomi Jackson has written a tender novel exploring the complexities of motherhood and childhood. The Star Side of Bird Hill holds together opposing elementsthe book is quiet in the telling, but the story being told is sharp and vibrant. It is as much a story of the fears of childhood as it is a story about welcoming old age with optimism. A book that knows death and discovery. A book laced with pain but shimmering with hope. With care, the narrative addresses huge issues, such as mental illness, mortality, sexuality, and, at its very core, what it means to love another person as they are.Tiphanie Yanique, author of Land of Love and Drowning The Star Side of Bird Hill: A Novel - Kindle edition by The Star Side of Bird Hill: note taking and highlighting while reading The Star Side of Bird Hill: A Novel The Star Side of Bird Hill: A Novel Kindle Edition The Star Side of Bird Hill: A Novel Penguin Press Minneapolis Star-Tribune [The Star Side of Bird Hill] family and what home means The Star Side of Bird Hill is not a book you dare to forget The Star Side of Bird Hill by Naomi Jackson Reviews The Star Side of Bird Hill has and engaging novel Star Side of Bird Hill of a novel The Star Side of Bird Hill Star Side was The Star Side of Bird Hill : NPR NPR coverage of The Star Side of Bird Hill by Naomi Jackson News author interviews Buy Featured Book Title The Star Side of Bird Hill Author Naomi Jackson [PDF] The Star Side of Bird Hill: A Novel - ebooklinkinfo Searches related to 'The Star Side of Bird Hill: A Novel' star bird side; star side of bird hill; the star side of bird hill pdf; the star side of bird hill review; Review: 'The Star Side Of Bird Hill" By Naomi Jackson : NPR "Life is a funny thing you know" says a character in Naomi Jackson's The Star Side of Bird Hill "Just when you think you know what you're doing which The Star Side of Bird Hill Naomi Jacksons Debut Novel The Star Side of Bird Hill the debut novel by The Offing contributing editor Naomi Jackson is now available from Penguin Press Recently excerpted in The Offing : The Star Side of Bird Hill: A Novel The Star Side of Bird Hill: A Novel The Star Side of Bird Hil Praise for The Star Side of Bird Hill: 'The Star Side of Bird Hill' by Naomi Jackson: EW review The Star Side of Bird Hill type: Book Current Status: Star Side is a gem of a book A Show Full EWcom may receive a percentage of sales for items The Star Side of Bird Hill (Book) Greenwich Library Penguin Putnam Two sisters are suddenly sent from their home in Brooklyn to Barbados to live with their grandmother in this stunning debut novel This lyrical novel
