About this listen
Perfect for fans of Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens, The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah, and Sal by Mik Kitson, with its celebration of the natural world, its misunderstood central characters living on the outside of society's norms, their survival in the wilderness, and the ultimate fight for justice.
Before the Swallows Come Back is a story of love, found family, and redemption that will break your heart and have it soaring time and time again as you sit on the edge of your seat desperately hoping.
Tommy struggles with people, with communicating, preferring solitude, drifting off with nature. He is protected by his Tinker family who keep to the old ways. A life of quiet seclusion under canvas is all he knows.
Charlotte cares for her sickly father. She meets Tommy by the riverside, and an unexpected friendship develops. Over the years it becomes something more, something crucial to both of them. But when tragedy strikes each family, they are torn apart.
Charlotte is sent far away.
Tommy might have done something very bad.

before the swallows come back
if you like nature with a touch of romance and intrigue this book is for you. The characters have become friends and I'm sad it's finished.

Very descriptive
Both my husband and I enjoyed listening to this book while travelling. Left us looking forward to hearing the next chapter. You could really picture the places. Good to hear a little Scottish history too. Suitable for teenagers and adults.

Great book but ending felt rushed
I loved this story, the characters and you get a real feel for the setting and nature like you are really there. Really well told until the end.
As much as I liked the outcome it felt sudden and rushed like you could have got so much more story!
