A review by beccalostinbooks
The Silver Swan by Elena Delbanco

2.0

I really wanted to like this book. I liked Marianna and Claude. I liked the musician aspect (I even listened to cello music while I read it), I liked the twisted daddy issues and her grappling with her father's larger-than-life legacy and her own past demons. But honestly? It got stale. Nothing was being said throughout the middle of the book, it was just filler. I think this would have been a much superior story had it been a novella instead.
