"An immensely charming short novel…. Griffin perfectly captures the mood of America in the twenties – prohibition, first wave feminism, ongoing and virulent racism, the class war at one of its many peaks – and it is this that pushes Silhouette to be more than ‘just’ a coming of age romance novel, but an example of historical fiction at its most vivid…. Well-researched and beautifully lyrical, her slightest nuances and atmospheric shifts – stifling, sticky heat; the smell of rain, promising; the cling of smoke to fabric; the curl of craft paper in a flame – captivate, inspire, and evoke that sense of longing and lust that perfectly encapsulate the rush of first love. And it is not just love, but Garnet’s growth as an individual, which makes Silhouette of a Sparrow a compelling and unique summer read. " --Lisa Harrison, Vada Magazine
