Chicago wife, mother and finance executive Claire Cummings, arrives at work one morning to discover her friend Julia has embezzled millions and vanished. Blindsided and devastated by the betrayal, she’s sent home pending further investigation. Claire’s bizarre death the following day sends everyone reeling, guessing and looking for her in all the wrong places. In no time she's addicted to an enchanting menagerie of tricks and techniques for getting the living's attention, but most people are harder to reach than she'd ever dreamed and even harder to set free.

She was still a mother, a wife, a daughter and a friend... she'd move heaven and earth to keep it that way.

Sheri Meshal’s Swallowtail is a haunting story about life, love, loss and just how far we’ll go to control it all.

This debut from a thought-provoking new voice in fiction begs the question… what would you do if all the rules changed, and you were suddenly bestowed powers beyond your greatest imagination?

L'autore

Sheri Meshal spent most of her childhood on an old farm in Iowa. She inherited her lifelong love of books from her father, who sensed she was a writer long before she did, and changed the course of her life by telling her so. A minimalist, Sheri currently lives in Chicago sans furniture with her dog, Kylee and her roommate and fellow writer, Mack Oliver. When she isn’t writing, she’s hanging out with all of her nieces and nephews every chance she gets. You may contact her at: http://sherimeshal.blogspot.com/2012/12/my-first-author-interview.html

A rich, flowing story full of life

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 13 gennaio 2013

Acquisto verificato

Swallowtail was absolutely amazing and blew my mind with the complexities, relationships, and storyline.

The author didn't muck up the flowing video in my head of the ongoing story with too many fancy phrases and convoluted sentences. While those may look and sound flowy and great, they dilute the ongoing visualization and halt the story for a few seconds as you try to decipher what it was that sentence you just read even meant... (Perhaps even a bit like that one, lol. I am no writer, but I do love to read!) Swallowtail was very easy to read and flowed effortlessly.

The characters are so rich and full of life, and I fell in love with them. And my heart leapt out for them.

And the story? ...Well, the story was very original and creative and ohmygod-awesome. The only thing that kept me from zipping through the book in one go was the fact that I would be too heartbroken when it was finished! It was so very well written, rich, and full of life that I couldn't contain my enthusiasm and immediately asked when her next book would be out, and her next one.

i cant believe this book is free and also that its not in 'hard' copy print! on a par with 'the shack' and 'the five people you meet in heaven' this one is not to be missed. i am not christian, dont believe in 'god' as an entity and am not on any kind of spiritual quest, but like the two aforementioned novels this book is thought provoking, unsentimental and heart warming. slick writing style, original ideas and constantly engaging i would love a paper copy of this and half a dozen to give as gifts. thanks a million amazon for the ebook but please get it published in paperback if nothing else. this is a best seller waiting to happen

An Incredibly Moving, Beautiful Debut Novel

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 10 ottobre 2012

Acquisto verificato

As you begin to read "Swallowtail," you become engrossed in what seems to be an intriguing bank heist mystery. But as soon as the reader gets to know and like the main character, Claire, she dies, leaving you to wonder what is left to fill the next 250 pages.

As it turns out, a lot.

In "Swallowtail" author Sheri Meshal takes a controversial subject the existence and content of which has been debated for thousands of years - the afterlife - and turns it inside-out. Her vision of what comes after corporeal life is fascinating, insightful, and almost seductive as she weaves concepts from many of the world's religions into a credible, aspirational truth that transcends dogma and denomination.

On the way, our heroine finds the justice, peace and understanding that she needs to advance her spirit forward toward perfect enlightenment.

Swallowtail is the most moving, beautiful novel I've read in years. Meshal understands storytelling and has mastered the art of creating believable, living characters. The dialogue flows evenly and the pace is taut. Swallowtail gives new meaning to the term, "page-turner."

This novel was slow moving, but for some reason I could not stop reading because I wanted to know what happened in the end. It was unusual reading for me but kept me engaged. It took me a while to finish it but eventually I did. It was not like other books I've read that I just could not put down but I enjoyed it anyway.

Different.

A very different sort of story that I couldn't seem to put down.

The story starts as the life of an ordinary woman with a job and family, that suddenly changes dramatically as her friend embezzles millions of dollars. Suspected of aiding her friend, Claire is swept into a life after death tale of how ones spirit/soul lingers and effects the lives of loved ones left behind.

I liked the family characters and how they developed as the unease and distress of not knowing what had happened to Claire became the centre of all their lives. The little clues as to her being alive in spirit that she tried to drop, were endearing and almost believable. I loved the paperclips for her baby daughter and the coins for her friend.

But it was so much more than just a ghostly tale. Past lives and fates are all intertwined with friends and destinies. It was complicated in places but still kept me turning the pages as the tale of inseparable incidents sealed Claire's ultimate path.

Not sure about the ending of this story and it is why I took a star off. I so wanted the family to move on and re-discover how they could continue their lives without Claire but the ending the author gave, although it doesn't spoil the story at all, just wasn't the right sort of closure for me.
