Just finished Boy‘s life and all I can say is wow. The end has me crying after the last sentence. But we move on and I‘m on my third McCammon book within a month. Just love his writing and this should be just as good.

#SwanSong is usually a final accomplishment or performance, one's last work. This idiom alludes to the old belief that swans normally are mute but burst into beautiful song moments before they die. Although the idea is much older, the term was first recorded in English in 1890.
I thought of the swans in Newberry Award winning book from my childhood that was adapted as an ABC Afterschool Special in 1974. (Those were the days!) 😉
#IdiomInsight Day 24: perfect for #SwanSong - got a copy of this for our #DecolonizeReading2023 reading theme. I hope to get to it soon enough, I hope.
