By the number one best-selling author of Under the Tuscan Sunlight, Bella Tuscany, and In Tuscany, Swan is a haunting novel set in the profound South - a resonant story of long-buried family secrets and mysteries brought suddenly to light. In her celebrated memoirs of life in Tuscany, Frances Mayes creates masterfully about people in a robust and shaping place. In Swan, her first novel, she has created an equally intimate world, rich with striking character types and intriguing twists of fate, that hearkens back again to her Southern roots. The Masons are a visible but now fragmented family who've lived for years in Swan, an Edenic, hidebound small town in Georgia. As Swan opens, a bizarre criminal offense pulls Ginger Mason home from her life as an archeologist in Italy: Your body of her mother, Catherine, a suicide 19 years before, has been mysteriously exhumed. Reunited on new terms with her troubled, isolated sibling J. J., who has never ventured definately not Swan, the Mason children grapple with the serious effects of their mother's life and death independently lives. Whenever a new explanation for Catherine's death emerges, and other closely guarded family secrets climb to the surface as well, Ginger and J. J. are met with startling truths about their family, a specific ordeal in a family and a town that would like to keep the past buried. Beautifully causing the rhythms and idiosyncrasies of the profound South while sharing with an utterly persuasive account of the complexness of family ties, Swan markings the amazing fiction debut of 1 of America's best-loved freelance writers.
