The Yellow Bird Sings is a beautifully written story of the bond between mothers and daughters that is put to the test during the horrors of war. A mother is forced to go into hiding with her child and regales her with stories of enchanted gardens and the sound of a musical bird. She creates this world to keep her daughter quiet so that they will not be found in their hiding places. The child is a musical prodigy so the bird provides much comfort. In time the mother must make a heart rendering decision to give her child up to strangers in order to keep her safe. The ending is stunning! Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful book..

The perfect novel for anyone who loves World War II historical fiction. I believe it will be one of the most talked about historical fiction release for 2020.

The Yellow Bird Sings by Jennifer Rosner was an excellent WWII story, one of those stories where you find yourself still reading at 2AM, cause you have to know what happens. Rosner tells the tale of a Jewish mother hiding in a barn, with her young music prodigy daughter. Loved this book....5 stars!!
