Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Crimson Weed
In every place where the cunning swallows could find room, they had built their nests. They circled in and out of the portico in hundreds. The stately front of the house was alive with them, and their presence veiled its frown at thoughts of past grandeur and present desertion. Its human sons might have left it solitary, but its winged ones were faithful. They caressed it through lonely years with every kind of tender grace. They made it live again, a busy, joyous, sounding life, when that other life of man to which it had once echoed had grown silent and idle.
