Written in spare beautiful prose, this extraordinary story will haunt readers. It begins in Krakow in 1939. Seven-year-old Anna is left to fend for herself when her father fails to collect her at the end of the day. Though Anna is fluent in many languages, she has no way to understand the new world in which she lives. By chance she falls in with a stranger, seemingly as alone as she is. He allows her to call him the Swallow Man – ‘names are ways for people to find us’ – and teaches her how to survive in this new landscape. Their unusual friendship grows and, though the Swallow Man can’t protect Anna from the realities of war, their relationship remains truthful, full of compassion and trust. A powerful and deeply moving story, highly recommended for mature, resilient readers. ~ Andrea Reece
