Reviews

A spellbinding, wholly original look at families and the secrets they keep . . . An absolutely amazing and absorbing read
Gloriously unsettling . . . it's clearly the book she's been waiting for . . . the greatest joy of reading Oyeyemi will always be style: jagged and capricious at moments, lush and rippled at others, always singular, like the voice-over of a fever dream.
Boy, Snow, Bird is a haunting, tender portrait of three women from one of our generation's most talented literary writers
Boy, Snow, Bird is among my favorite new releases for this year already. A retelling of the Snow White fairy-tale that focuses on race, it's a sensitive, intelligent treatment of a subject most fiction still sidesteps. Fans of Adichie's Americanah who also like a little fantasy in their coffee will be enchanted, I think.
