For eight-year-old Bonnie Morrison, the mother is the comforting angel without whom nothing feels alive or real. For his older brother Robert, his mother is the one he, as the eldest child, has to take care of. Especially in the Spanish flu of 1918, which is ravaging their small town. For James Morrison, his wife Elizabeth is the center of a life that falls apart without her.
From the point of view of these characters, "William Maxwell" creates an emotional picture of an American adopted child during the outbreak of an epidemic and of a complex woman who forms the emotional and emotional pillar of the family.
The novel "As Swallows Came" is one of the handfuls of American literature novels in which the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918 plays a prominent role. Today, more than eighty years after its first publication, this book seems to deal with the current events of our lives, and by telling the careful and beautiful point of relationships and limitations of a distant era, it explores the underlying layers of love and need that exists in life.
