Blue Elephant's First Anniversary Tea Party

with Atlanta author Tayari Jones

Sunday, June 12, 2011, at 4 p.m.

On the very anniversary of our move to our cozy new home, we’re delighted to be hosting Tayari Jones, who will be reading and signing her new book, Silver Sparrow.

Hometown girl Tayari Jones has given us an intriguing tale of James Witherspoon’s two families—one public and one hidden.  Told from the perspectives of the two daughters, the story unrolls as a fascinating look at the collapse of the house—or in this case, houses—of lies carefully constructed over many years. Oh, what a web we weave!

I’ve read and enjoyed this her third novel (as I did Jones's other two) and think you’ll find it a treat to spend a lazy summer Sunday afternoon getting acquainted with this talented Atlanta native and Spelman graduate.
