In the winter of 1953, Boy Novak arrives by chance in a small town in Massachusetts, looking, she believes, for beauty - the opposite of the life she' s left behind in New York. She marries a local widower and becomes stepmother to his winsome daughter, Snow Whitman. A wicked stepmother is a creature Boy never imagined she' d become, but elements of the familiar tale of aesthetic obsession begin to play themselves out when the birth of Boy' s daughter, Bird, who is dark-skinned, exposes the Whitmans as light-skinned African Americans passing for white. Among them, Boy, Snow, and Bird confront the tyranny of the mirror to ask how much power surfaces really hold.

Dazzlingly inventive and powerfully moving, Boy, Snow, Bird is an astonishing and enchanting novel. With breathtaking feats of imagination, Helen Oyeyemi confirms her place as one of the most original and dynamic literary voices of our time.

This novel is the worst thing I’ve ever read (mandatory for a university course). It’s all over the place and follows no logical sequence. People say the author is a genius, but I just find her work confusing and, frankly, scattered. She aims to confront a multitude of social issues within yet, by choosing too many, she does a poor job at thoroughly (or truly) acknowledging any of them.

Horrid

I didn’t like much about it unfortunately not my cup of tea. Maybe someone else’s but not mine.very slow and kept taking turned that went no where or didn’t work well with the store and ended on an odd cliff hanger with no sequel insight. This could have been an amazing book the story idea was great the execution was poorly don’t and I don’t dislike book but this one I can say I didn’t like personally.

Was slow threw in plot twist that were not there organically I read it so fast just to finish it.
