Inhalt: Manchmal merkt man erst, wie wichtig eine Person ist, wenn sie nicht mehr da ist ... Nisha träumt davon, ihrer geliebten Tochter ein besseres Leben ermöglichen. Allein deshalb verlässt sie ihre geliebte Heimat und beginnt weit weg ein Leben als Kindermädchen. Der Preis ist hoch, denn die Sehnsucht nach ihrem Kind droht Nisha fast zu zerreißen. Für ihre Arbeitgeberin Petra wird sie als Kindermädchen schnell unverzichtbar, doch trotz der vermeintlichen Nähe macht Petra sich kaum die Mühe, auch den Menschen Nisha mit seinen Ängsten, Sorgen und Hoffnungen kennenzulernen. Erst als Nisha plötzlich verschwindet und Petra schockiert feststellen muss, wie gleichgültig die Polizei darauf reagiert, folgt sie Nishas Spuren. Was sie entdeckt, wird sie selbst und ihr Leben für immer verändern ...

Inhalt:'Will break your heart and open your eyes' Heather Morris, author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz 'I've never read anything quite like Songbirds - a beautifully crafted novel.' Jodi Picoult, bestselling author of Wish You Were Here. Her courage to cross oceans. Her hope for a better life. Her love for a daughter, above all else. Not all tragedies make headlines, not every voice is heard. Nisha has crossed oceans to give her child a future. Now she spends her days caring for someone else's daughter while her own waits for her return, half a world away. For Petra, it is only natural to hire a domestic worker to keep her house clean and her family fed. Their lives have nothing in common, except the love they feel for their daughters. Then one day, Nisha vanishes. No one cares about the disappearance of a foreign domestic worker, except Petra and Nisha's secret lover, Yiannis, the only connection to her daughter back in Sri Lanka. As Petra and Yiannis desperately search for Nisha, they realise how little they knew about her. What they uncover will change them both forever. Inspired by true stories of love and loss, hope and refuge, this evocative masterpiece from the million-copy bestselling author of The Beekeeper of Aleppo, Christy Lefteri, is an illuminating story of the power of the human spirit, and the enduring love of a mother for her child, that will stay with you long after you finish reading.
