(1) YA In 1939 Kraków, Poland, orphaned seven-year-old Anna follows a mysterious man, who seems to communicate with birds, out of the city; as days become months, then years, the Swallow Man teaches Anna life lessons and survival skills. The third-person narrative--lyrical, fluid, with a pervasive shadow of menace--lends a folkloric feel to a graceful story steeped in history, magic, myth, and archetype.
