When We Were Birds Humorous Stories Joan begins to understand thatA mythic love story set in Trinidad, Ayanna Lloyd Banwo's radiant debut is a masterwork of lush imagination and exuberant storytelling a spellbinding and hopeful novel about inheritance, loss, and love's seismic power to heal. "Roots the reader in [Trinidad's] traditions and rituals [and] in the glorious matriarchy by which lineage is upheld. The result is a depiction of ordinary life that's full and breathtaking."
