Book Review
Jo Claypool
Never have I highlighted a book of fiction until now. Nancy Weston’s book, The Cruelty of Swallows, is written in a way I have not experienced before. At times, it is most poetic and flows like wind whispering through the trees. There are phrases I want to cling to as they penetrated my very core.
Weston’s characters are strong and believable. The love between Kenzie and Tom is powerful and unique as they build each other up and experience an unspoken support on so many levels. The character development throughout connected me to each person in a way that made me have to stop reading and process the events going on in their lives.
The title drew me in, and I now understand. Life can be messy. Don’t miss out on this powerful book! I am anxious to read more of Weston’s work.
