Anna and the Swallow Man

by Gavriel Savit - £7.99  Penguin Books Ltd (Puffin) (2017)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780141376646 | ISBN 10: 0141376643

Anna and the Swallow Man is a stunning, literary, and wholly original debut novel that tells a new WW2 story.
�
Krak�w, 1939, is no place to grow up. There are a million marching soldiers and a thousand barking dogs. And Anna Lania is just seven years old when the Germans take her father and suddenly, she�s alone.
�
Then she meets the Swallow Man. He is a mystery, strange and tall. And like Anna's missing father, he has a gift for languages: Polish, Russian, German, Yiddish, even Bird. When he summons a bright, beautiful swallow down to his hand to stop her from crying, Anna is entranced.
�
Over the course of their travels together, Anna and the Swallow Man will dodge bombs, tame soldiers, and even, despite their better judgement, make a friend. But in a world gone mad, everything can prove dangerous...
