This book attracted me because of its stunning cover. In fact it was one of my favourite covers in the list of 14 Delicious covers of 2017<\/a><\/span>. I was intrigued by the blurb too. It was strange, it was real. What are the odds that a woman be killed by a swan? The story resembles the myth of Leda and the swan in which Zeus takes the form of a swan and ravishes Leda, the wife of Tyndareus. There are different versions of the myth about what happens after that.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Leda is a young artist married to a historian husband. The unexpected tragedy of her death leaves her husband, Seb, devastated. It is during this time that Seb comes across the correspondence between his wife and a man named Olaf. He tries to track down Olaf to know more about the relationship between the two and why his wife had never mentioned Olaf to him.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
