- Summary:
- Through the eyes of two boys and their father, William Maxwell reveals the complex woman who is the unacknowledged source of their happiness--and whose death during the influenza epic of 1918 will devastate them all. "They Came Like Swallows" tenderly depicts the currents of love and need that run through every family--and whose true depth becomes evident only in moments of tragedy.
