"This remains a solid read, sure to please readers who enjoy
Southern fiction."
-Library Journal
"An assured fiction debut...Like Richard Russo's novel Empire
Falls, it smartly dissects and dynamics of small-town relationships
and the interplay between prominent families and the less powerful
over several generations...carefully constructed...you'll fall for
"Swan."
-USA Today
"Fueled by irresistable, page-turning questions."
-San Francisco Chronicle
"A painstaking study of a small Southern town and its
people...combining [Mayes's] talent for vivid scene-setting that
[she] showed in "Tuscan Sun" with deft plotting and solid character
development."
-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"Loaded with finely-drawn minor characters and the alluring
atmosphere of the American South, Swan is a
well-paced...entertainment."
-New York Times Book Review
