A mythic love story set in Trinidad, Ayanna Lloyd Banwo\'s radiant debut introduces two unforgettable outsiders brought together by their connection with the dead. Heartwarming and heartbreaking, fantastical and familiar, with characters that burrow their way into your heart and mind . . . [ When We Were Birds ] is glorious.--ROBERT JONES JR., New York Times bestselling author of THE PROPHETS In the old house on a hill, where the city meets the rainforest, Yejide\'s mother is dying. She is leaving behind a legacy that now passes to Yejide: one St Bernard woman in every generation has the power to shepherd the city\'s souls into the afterlife. But after years of suffering her mother\'s neglect and bitterness, Yejide is looking for a way out. Raised in the countryside by a devout Rastafarian mother, Darwin has always abided by the religious commandment not to interact with death. He has never been to a funeral, much less seen a dead body. But when the only job he can find is grave digging, he must betray the life his mother built for him in order to provide for them both. Newly shorn of his dreadlocks and his past, and determined to prove himself, Darwin finds himself adrift in a city electric with possibility and danger. Yejide and Darwin will meet inside the gates of Fidelis, an ancient and sprawling cemetery, where the dead lie uneasy in their graves and a reckoning with fate beckons them both. A masterwork of lush imagination and exuberant storytelling, When We Were Birds is a spellbinding and hopeful novel about inheritance, loss, and love\'s seismic power to heal.
