Reviews

"""Swann is masterful in her ability to entertain as well as enlighten and the pages are a joy to turn as the reader eagerly follows one woman's quest to understand her own death and what the gift of that understanding means to her life."" ""There's a grim poeticism permeating Swann's prose in her debut novella. It seems to exist outside of time."" ""This short, yet dense and ambitious work, is infused with the magical realism of Borges and odes to the Eastern wisdom of the soul's journey through life and death."" ""What strikes us most is the mood, dark and Poe-like, that the author is able to instill in the reader from the very beginning of this story. An uneasy, foreboding mood that stays with you from start to finish. This is a book you will feel."""
