"The Lone Swallows" by Henry Williamson is HW's second published book. The book is a collection of nature essays, most of which had already been published in newspapers and magazines: they are HW's first attempts to 'describe the common sights and sounds of the English countryside', as he stated in his own 'Compiler's Note' that fronts the first edition.
Set in Florence, Italy in 1805, this lyrical story tells the tale of a swallow looking for her mate.
A Guardian Book of the Year and Chapters/Indigo Best Book In the foothills of a mountain range in northern Pakistan is a beautiful orchard. Swallows wheel and dive silently over the branches, and the scent of jasmine threads through the air. Pomegranates hang heavy, their skins darkening to a deep crimson. Neglected now, the trees are beginning to grow wild, their fruit left to spoil on the branches. Many miles away, a frail young man is flung out of prison gates. Looking up, scanning the horizon for swallows in flight, he stumbles and collapses in the roadside dust. His ravaged body tells the story of fifteen years of brutality. Just one image has held and sustained him through the dark times -- the thought of the young girl who had left him dumbstruck with wonder all those years ago, whose eyes were lit up with life. A tale of tenderness in the face of great and corrupt power, In The Orchard, The Swallows is a heartbreaking novel written in prose of exquisite stillness and beauty.
