The Swan House Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Awesome book, set in Atlanta in the 1960's. This story is touching and historic!! Must read if you are familiar with Atlanta. "

" The twists kept me hooked; I finished this in about 4 days. "

" Wonderfully touching book. I loved the intermingling of history and fiction that gave the story a life of it's own. I enjoyed being along as Mary Swan made her journey to God. Can't wait to read more by Elizabeth Musser. "

" I really enjoyed this book. The history of Atlanta and the Christian aspects were wonderful! "

" I liked this book. Kept me interested and was an interesting storyline, but was expecting a more exciting climax. "

" This was an interesting story about a girl growning up in Atlanta in the 1960s. I like the discovery of racism and what it really means. I was surprised by some aspects of the book and kept looking for the rest of the story. "

" A bit predictable, but a lovely story with beautiful descriptions of Atlanta and its history. "

" If you are from Atlanta you should probably read this... "

" Liked the story but a little heavy-handed on the born again thing. "

" I was reading this on my Kindle. I had read about 22% when it started getting a little too preachy for me. I don't mind Christian fiction, just don't like when an author tries to convert me to their way of thinking when I'm reading a fiction book for pleasure. "

" Atlanta from Buckhead to Grant Park. Nice descriptions of her house and the Swann house, and a rich coming of age story. "The Dwelling Place", in which we follow the same characters a generation later, did not have the same depth. "

" I enjoyed this book! It got a little overly dramatic and overly religious at times, but I still found myself eager to get back to it at the end of the day. Worth a read, but I don't know that i would re-read it over and over like some of my favorites. "

" THE SWAN HOUSE is set in the 1960's in the deep south US, and deals with a teen girl's conflicting emotions when her mother dies, leaving behind a mystery. The protagonist discovers God in a real way whilst helping out in a tragically poor neighborhood. A beautiful, nostalgic read! "

" I loved this book! I had never heard of this author before, but will read anything she writes after this. Very well thought and put together. Would HIGHLY recommend. "

" I thought it was a good story, but it seemed to drag in places. But overall I liked it. "
