Book Reviews of The Girl in a Swing
Book Review: A beautiful romance with a darker side
Summary: 4 Stars
I first read this book 15 years or so ago, as a teenager, and it has stayed with me as one of the most memorable books I have ever read. It is a beautifully written romance. Starting out as boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl. The story builds to a frightening ending, sort of 'Rebecca' meets 'The Drowning People'. The key to this book is not the story line, although there is nothing wrong with it, but the skillful writing by Adams, in building the tension and air of mystery. This book could have so easily been corny, but it is truly brilliant. Read it, you won't be able to put it down!
