Well, I know the reason I first picked up The Wild Swans was because I was estatic you had written something besides Emerald House Rising (which, btw, got me started on gems and jewelry, a nice little profitable sideline). But I knew the story of the seven swans from when I read fairy tales. It was one of my favorites, because I liked the stories of sacrifice and the times it paid off. An essential part of my early reading.
I'm thinking about Wild Swans at the moment because I just re-purchased it for my collection. The first edition wandered off into someone else's library, and now my mother is reading it. It's interesting to see what she's seeing as the paralells in the book and what conclusions she's making as she goes along. Of course, she's the one who read me the seven swans all those years ago.
Hmmm, Emerald House Rising is nominated for our book club sometime in the fall...do you think you'd mind coming across the river to the U?
