A novel by Diana Setterfield, the celebrated author of The Thirteenth Tale, a recognized masterpiece of modern English prose that made critics talk about the return of the golden age of the British novel, shrouded in the names of Charlotte and Emily Bronte and Daphne du Maurier, and sold around the world in 40 languages with a circulation of over 2 million copies.
On the darkest and longest night of the year, on the day of the winter solstice, a wounded stranger stumbles into the ancient Swan Inn on the banks of the Thames with a dead girl in his arms. However, a few hours later the girl turns out to be alive. Is this a miracle? Magic? Or can a scientific explanation be found? And most importantly - who is she? The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vaughan, who disappeared two years ago? Or perhaps the granddaughter of farmer Robert Armstrong, whose existence he learned of only the day before and never had the chance to see? After all, the Swan is not just the oldest tavern in the area; people have long come here to listen to and tell stories - topical anecdotes, or ancient legends and traditions, or fairy tales. So the story of the mysterious girl must be woven into the fabric that has been woven by experienced storytellers for many centuries...
