The Broken Swan's Neck is a paranormal romance that intertwines two stories of relationships, one from Victorian times, the other in the present. A young architect, Miller Rhodes, wrestles with plans for an important commission in one of Raleigh's historical districts. In his blossoming romance and his architectural struggles, supernatural shadows from the past visit him in his Victorian home, forcing help on him that he resists. But with the rejection of their aid, he finds he is destroying the things that mean most in his life - his new relationship and the architectural commission that could jump-start his career. As he explores the story of the Victorian-era architect, William Winbourne, and his Cherokee princess bride, Clara, Miller finds that his life and Alicia's have become involved with their lives and unfortunate deaths. As he learns more, he suspects that the resolution of their stories could mean the loss of Miller's and Alicia's personal identities, if not their lives. "The Broken Swan's Neck" is set in Raleigh, North Carolina, mostly in the historic district and the college area. Miller is recovering from a failed marriage, and Alicia from an abusive relationship. As they get to know each other and learn more about the history of their ghosts, they are encouraged and hindered by a variety of colorful characters: Kathleen, Alicia's fullback-sized friend from the country, light on her feet and heavy on the makeup; Lee Barefoot, Miller's history-loving friend who hosts outrageous parties on the weekends; "Pecker" Woods, a literary bar-fly who knows the sordid secrets of most of the people in town; General Jasper Gardenhire, the gruff retiree who pushes Miller to do his best; Gracie, an old flame of Miller's who is accustomed to using others, but who finds herself being used; and numerous others. David James Kelly's newest novel recounts a poignant and compelling tale of the triumph of the spirit across the depths of time.
