Boy, Snow, Bird by Helen Oyeyemi This is a story about three women and strange connection between them… Boy Novak turns twenty and decides to try for a brand new life… 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 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.
