Dian Greenwood
"A poignant tapestry of love, loss, and reinvention, Forever Blackbirds unravels the story of Marta, a woman facing the brutal realities of war in 1943 and a tumultuous past fleeing Bolsheviks in 1914 Russia. Ensnared in a loveless marriage, Marta confronts the upheavals of war and societal change against shattered dreams of a storybook America. When tragedy strikes, Marta's evolution unfurls. With each turn of the wheel, Marta must struggle to reclaim control over her life in a rapidly changing world. This novel is an absorbing read, told in unflinching detail."
