The Stillness of Swallows

by Michelle Damiani

Overview

Old secrets. New lies. An Italian village on the brink of catastrophe.

Things are changing in Santa Lucia, and not necessarily for the better.  As the town's residents move through their daily lives, finding love, friendship, and themselves, the past starts to catch up with them...and spill its secrets.

Sins thought long-forgotten return with vengeance, threatening the happiness of those who deserve it, and those who don't.

When children go missing, it sets off a series of events that expose hard truths and painful lies.

Will Santa Lucia crumble under the weight of these devastating revelations?

"Michelle Damiani has done it again!"

"A hair-raising ending keeps the plot moving up to the very last page."

"Beautiful setting with interesting people and so well written. You must read them all. A great getaway during these trying times-or anytime!"

"Loved the characters and their stories as much as I did the heavenly hilltop village. As an Italophile I was so wonderfully absorbed in this series."

"Oh, I love the Santa Lucia series."
