Book Synopsis
In 1906 a young, semiliterate Greek arrived in America with a fewdollars in his pocket and his people’s legacy of proverbs, superstitions, and cultural traits to guide him through the dangers and opportunities of a new world.

Trade Review
The Time of the Little Black Bird's breadth and depth, its over-arching compassion, is nurtured by a mature and understated wisdom. Papanikolas' fine skills as a writer seldom give way to shortcuts, never to triteness or sentimentality. The novel nurtures its own light, its own forward movement, its own life. Nothing is imposed. Utah is lucky to have Papanikolas, and should be grateful for the rich and significant history her work represents.
