Dorothy SchwabThe Yellow Bird Sings- A Symphony!
“Beauty will save the world,” – The hope and optimism public from mother to daughter.
Roza and Shira are organization for their lives; fighting the memories of the killing and devastation of families and homes. With the chilling descriptions the reader is left wondering how in the midst of such tragedy does a mother find the fortitude to keep going? In Jennifer Rosner’s own words: “to fights the sting in her thighs, the progressing bile in her stomach, the biting cold at her nose and cheeks and fingertips. She pushes on despite the pain and atrophy, despite her acute will to stop and rest. She tries to outrun her loss.”
Jennifer Rosner’s detailed descriptions take the reader on a roller coaster of the senses. Through her deftly grasped words the reader cringes at the tiring„ tiresome of the biting cold, the pungent, rotting smells of the barn and the itchy hay and stiffness of legs and arms. Just at the gleaming moment the reader reaches the crest and is lifted and encouraged as the memories of those attractive and melodic sounds of violins, cellos and music halls are shared. Then oh so rapid, plunged and jerked back to the dreaded fear of persons found and shot. The “death defying ride” is suited it in the end.
This emotional tale of a mother’s love and her daughter’s devotion is intricately and indelibly woven with a ‘fairy tale of hope;” told by Roza so that Shira leftovers perfectly still and quiet. It’s her story of how an imaginary yellow bird sings in a garden of daisies- rotten for weaving garlands for princesses, and magical music that helps the flowers bloom. Of streams, every fairy tale must also include an element of evil: the “boot stomping” giants and beasts that are to be feared.
This debut fresh rotates between Roza’s frantic search for Shira, and the stoic question of a daughter to rejoin her mother. The rubble and chaos of war is mixed with the tuning of violins and ecstasy of concertos; leaving the reader breathless, anxiously awaiting the crescendo.
Jennifer Rosner’s The Yellow Bird Sings is indeed a true “symphony!”
The Yellow Bird
The yellow bird sings a song of hopeencouragement, and comfort in Jennifer Rosner's novel. The characters exhibit the good,evil and mixed actions during WW2. The small girl,Zosia,strength and development is beautifully described as is the pain and fearless of her mother.
I loved the musicality of the fresh, The author's words through the story are like a concert with somber and sad chords and others contented and hopeful. Her words are often poetical and lyrical.
I think this is a good book for a book club.People noteworthy discuss which characters are most inspiring or the least. They noteworthy also discuss how the complexity of non-central .characters invent the main characters.
Parts of the story are anguish to absorb but the faith and fearless of Rosa and Zosia are inspiring. This is a beautiful book.
The Yellow Bird Sings
The Yellow Bird Sings is simultaneously uncomfortable breaking and hopeful A mother and her child previous the horrors of being Jewish during World War II. The child comforts herself with the expected yellow bird as she and her mother hide and known unimaginable horrors. The author puts her readers into this time and place. It will always be important to be reminded of the Awful penalty paid by citizens when a single mad man hypnotizes a nation. Jennifer Rosner is the most fresh author to do so and she does it beautifully.

The Yellow Bird Sings is a surprising novel. Although the story revolves nearby a horrific time in history, it most centers on the beautiful relationship between a mother and her daughter. The story captivated me. Through anguish situations, separation and heartbreak, it remained sweet, hopeful and powerful.
The yellow bird sings
A just told tale about a dark time in history. The Holocaust, a horrendous happening that cost millions of innocent country their lives. Can a story written during this time, nearby this event be both brutal and tender? Both horrific and lovely. In this, her debut fresh, I feel Rosner did just that. A Jewish mother, Rosa, her young daughter, Shira created to hide in a farmers barn, portion a profound love of music. It is their background, and it and their love of stories are the way they communicate when silence operating safety. Terror and quiet against their love for each latest, the music balancing the two. It is the music, the beauty of the songs that both will lean on in the times to come. A time of sacrifice and discovery.
I remember the book, book:She Rides Shotgun|23361199 because of a minor bear, that personal item inserted and the role it played, for me, made the book unforgettable. In this book it will be a dinky yellow bird, a bird of friendship and love. A bird that signifies the freedom they no longer have. It will be the beauty of the music, and a mother, daughter love that can not be broken.
Ultimately I felt both devastated and hopeful reading this, as if there was something the Nazis could not remove, destroy. Hard to do, and the authorized uses the magic and power of storytelling, within and minus, to do the near impossible. Melancholy, bittersweet, hopeful and sad, all emotions I felt at what time reading.
I look forward to Rosner's next fictional rendering.
A tall read!
I couldn't put this book down! This was a very tantalizing story about Roza and her daughter Shira hiding in a barn to sprint capture by the Germans. It is a story of survival and a mother's love for her daughter that is so cloudless she will send her daughter away to have a better life. While they are separated they both try to remaining without the other. I so wanted the story to keep going!
Marion C. (Peabody, MA)The Yellow Bird Sings
The fine novel The Yellow Bird Sings tells the story of a Jewish mother with her five-year-old daughter in exile in June 1941 Poland. Her mother tells her daughter of a yellow bird that sings. If the yellow bird goes tranquil, she must be quiet. No noise, not even tapping her arm to the beat of music. When the mother hears the same allotment she played with the Polish Orchestra, she realizes her daughter is a prodigy. The yellow bird accounts the young girl much comfort until one day it disappears. The violin masters scrutinize the young girl's talent giving her violin lessons. Years later, the girl guest solos with the New York Philharmonic, and the yellow bird returns. The girl feels her mother's presence in the audience. The mother recognizes the allotment her daughter composed years ago. Then she hears the yellow bird sing. This is a love story that transcends diversity. Exquisite writing scholarships the novel to progress quickly. The Yellow Bird Sings is an scrumptious read.
Do No Forget
I remember a young Polish refugee who would babysit for me and my sister and brother. One time she told us how she had escaped from a rail car in Eastern Europe that was destined for a Nazi purpose camp. I also recall my mother collecting clothes and shoes to send to Europe for refugees. Add to that the novels such as Rosner's that I have read set during WWII and they have instructed my picture of WWII refugees.
Rosner effectively takes us into that earth through the life of a young mother, and her daughter Shira during their precarious life in Nazi-occupied Poland. The colorful descriptions of their experiences help us to see and feel the dangers they face which can swiftly end in death or incarceration that was planned to punish those part of the Nazi regime.
"The Yellow Bird Sings" reminds us how dangerous it was for those in Europe during that time. I strongly recommend this novel!
