The reviews on goodreads.com are very good for this book. ~ The book is in excellent condition. ~ “The Last Song of the Swan is told by two narrators: One young girl who lived in ancient times, and a modern-day high school senior. It’s a fantastic parallel between 27,000 b.c. and today. The story is inspired by the Old English epic poem, Beowulf.”
