Description
Un testamento al triunfo y a la esperanza, una historia susurrada en uno de los momentos mãs oscuros de todos los tiempos. En Polonia, mientras la Segunda Guerra Mundial avanza, una madre esconde junto con su joven hija, un prodigio musical cuyo sonido ̀ms leve podría costarles sus vidas. Mientras soldados nazis persiguen a los judíos de su pueblo, Róza y su hija de cinco años, Shira, huyen, buscando refugio en el granero del vecino. Escondidas en el henar día y noche, Shira lucha para mantenerse tranquila y callada, pero la música alrededor de la granja la llama constantemente. Para apaciguar a su hija, Róza le cuenta la historia de una niña en un jardín encantado. A la niña se le ha prohibido realizar cualquier tipo de sonido, asíque el pájaro amarillo canta. Canta cualquier cosa que la niña compone en su cabeza: trinos agudos de flautín; gruñidos de contrafagot de garganta baja. La música ayuda a que las flores florezcan. En este mundo hecho realidad, Róza puede proteger a Shira de los horrores que les rodean. Pero el día en el que su refugio deja de ser seguro llega, y Róza deberá realizar una elección imposible: mantener a Shira a su lado o darle la oportunidad de sobrevivir lejos de ella. Inspirada en historias reales de miles de niños judíos escondidos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, esta es una maravillosa novela acerca de los lazos inquebrantables entre una madre y una hija. --,Amazon.com
Description
"In Poland, as World War II rages, a mother hides with her young daughter, a musical prodigy whose slightest sound may cost them their lives. As Nazi soldiers round up the Jews in their town, ̤Rza and her 5-year-old daughter, Shira, flee, seeking shelter in a neighbor's barn. Hidden in the hayloft day and night, Shira struggles to stay still and quiet, as music pulses through her and the farmyard outside beckons. To soothe her daughter and pass the time, ̤Rza tells her a story about a girl in an enchanted garden: The girl is forbidden from making a sound, so the yellow bird sings. He sings whatever the girl composes in her head: high-pitched trills of piccolo; low-throated growls of contrabassoon. Music helps the flowers bloom. In this make-believe world, ̤Rza can shield Shira from the horrors that surround them. But the day comes when their haven is no longer safe, and ̤Rza must make an impossible choice: whether to keep Shira by her side or give her the chance to survive apart. Inspired by the true stories of Jewish children hidden during World War II, Jennifer Rosner's debut is a breathtaking novel about the unbreakable bond between a mother and a daughter. Beautiful and riveting, The Yellow Bird Sings is a testament to the triumph of hope--a whispered story, a bird's song--in even the darkest of times."--,Amazon.com
