You Came With the BirdsBringing You, My Child, Into This World of Many Cultures.When birds begin to knock at their window, Yana and Nyaniso know that it is their child-to-be, ready to come. Pregnancy inevitably arrives and they are called to reconcile their German-English & South African Xhosa cultural differences in a new context; the initiation into parenthood. Written from mother to daughter, this impelling and heartfelt memoir captures Yana’s story as she and her husband journey closer to birth by the day. Cultural processes, deportation and potent conversations with loved ones from all walks of life are threaded into an engrossing tale packed with poetic language. Filled with trials, triumphs and striking contemplations on culture, race, and personal identity, this book welcomes you into an emotional life adventure, through a world of many cultures.
