"Boy, Snow, Bird By" Helen Oyeyemi

A retelling of the Snow White myth, Boy, Snow, Bird is a deeply moving novel about an

unbreakable bond . . . BOY Novak turns twenty and decides to try for a brand-new life. Flax

Hill, Massachusetts, isn't exactly a welcoming town, but it does have the virtue of being the

last stop on the bus route she took from New York. Flax Hill is also the hometown of Arturo

Whitman – craftsman, widower, and father of Snow. SNOW is mild-mannered, radiant and

deeply cherished – exactly the sort of little girl Boy never was, and Boy is utterly beguiled by

her. If Snow displays a certain inscrutability at times, that's simply a characteristic she shares

with her father, harmless until Boy gives birth to Snow's sister, Bird. When BIRD is born Boy is

forced to re-evaluate the image Arturo's family have presented to her, and Boy, Snow and

Bird are broken apart. Sparkling with wit and vibrancy, Boy, Snow, Bird is a novel about three

women and the strange connection between them. It confirms Helen Oyeyemi's place as one

of the most original and dynamic literary voices of her generation.
