The American South is a special place, including for literature. The writers of the South have a special intonation that makes them related to each other, and their books, as a rule, are full of special charm, a little naive, ironic, kind. Such are “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee and the best novels of the beloved Fannie Flagg. One summer, having lost his position as a priest, Samuel Lake, along with his wife Willady and children, returns to his native land, to the house where Willady was born and raised. This summer will turn out to be special, too many events will happen, too many troubles and happy moments will be given to the heroes. And above all, Swan Lake is an energetic girl with a cocky character and a keen sense of justice. This summer, Svan learns that absolute evil exists in the world and that good does not always prevail. The adventures that will befall her will change the world for her, and for Samuel, and for all the other heroes of this humane book. And if you are looking for a novel with old-fashioned values, with a classic confrontation between darkness and light, with compelling characters, with exciting adventures, then you have found it.
