It tells of an ordinary American family overtaken by the devastating epidemic of the Spanish influenza of 1918. The book begins on the day before the armistice in a small midwestern town, and the events are seen from the perspective, in turn, of eight-year-old Peter Morison - called Bunny; of his older brother, Robert; and of their father. They are witnesses to a domestic tragedy that is written with beauty and a quite magnificent tenderness.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"They Came Like Swallows | William Maxwell | Paperback | 9780679772576 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks B 1756928","offer_id":49149151903896,"sku":"1756928","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71jBzPlu6gL.jpg?v=1779524572","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/they-came-like-swallows","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
