Swan

In her celebrated memoirs of life in Tuscany, Frances Mayes writes masterfully about people in a powerful and shaping place. In Swan, her first novel, she has created an equally intimate world, rich with striking characters and intriguing twists of fate. Hearkening back to her own Southern roots, Mayes tells an utterly compelling story of the complexity of family ties.

“A well-paced...entertainment.”
—The New York Times Book Review
