WHERE THE SABIÁ BIRD SINGS is an atmospheric love and coming-of-age story, set primarily in Rio de Janeiro and Annapolis, Maryland from the 1960s through the ‘80s.
It is written in memoir style by the Brazilian-born, French/American protagonist, Jean-Pierre Sinclair, when, at age 35, he finds himself on the threshold of restarting his life. His narrative voice is imbued with the warmth, humor, and optimism for which Cariocas (natives of Rio) are known. And in certain passages of dialogue, the reader might recognize the languid, off-beat rhythm of Rio’s bossa nova music.
The pivotal and recurring themes of this family saga include longing, love, tragedy, resilience, loyalty, and finding one’s place in the muddled landscape of identity.
