Publishers Description: The heartbreaking follow-up to the million copy bestseller, The Beekeeper of Aleppo. Ive never read anything quite like Songbirds - a beautifully crafted novel that sits at the intersection of race and class. - Jodi Picoult Will break your heart and open your eyes - Heather Morris, author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz 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 Petras daughter; at night she mothers her own little girl by the light of a phone. Nishas 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.
