The Songbird with Sapphire Eyes by Anna Brentwood
[cl-review quote=”Author Anna Brentwood has created a true “gem“ with her story of young songstress Hannah in this recent “roaring twenties“ novel. The heroine is exceptionally well-developed as her intriguing rural to urban journey unfolds. I felt like I was literally and figuratively seeing her life change from “black and white“ to “color“ right before my eyes. Hats off to Ms. Brentwood for an obviously well-researched period piece, which even includes masterful use of dialects reminiscent of William Faulkner. If you like the Twenties, organized crime, or the art-deco period, this book is for you.” author=”beegee” occupation=”Amazon Customer” type=”quote” layout=”clean” quote_size=”12px” author_size=”12px” italic=”1″][cl-review quote=”I was enthralled by the world Brentwood created in this novel and fell in love with the characters. They each had a clear voice and motivations and even when they did things I disagreed with, they kept true to themselves. The author takes many chances in this book and they paid off b/c she produced something special and different than so much that is out right now.” author=”Amazon Customer” occupation=”” type=”quote” layout=”clean” quote_size=”12px” author_size=”12px” italic=”1″]
