From the author of Truth, Love, Unity – A Journey with Spirit, comes Petra Aeron Lohmann’s long awaited second novel – Swans. In her trademark soulful style Petra brings us the story of Fernanda Magdalena Morales – a fiery Chilean-born writer who seems to have it all – a string of successful novels born of an illustrious carrier as writer-in-chief at Branson Literary Projects, three adoring children and a beautiful home in East Sydney’s Parsley Bay. Yet, her life is bespeckled with torturous secrets, demons of the past which engulf her peaceful existence with the ferocity of an erupting volcano on the eve of her forty-seventh birthday, when her life is thrown into chaos by a chance encounter with a childhood friend. A tumultuous journey back to her Chilean roots instigated by the obsessive demands of her pompous employer – we experience her heartfelt struggle as Fern returns to her South-American homeland and confronts thirty-three years of suppressed resentment. We share her heartache as she’s forced to face the cruelties of her past, and unravel the wicked web of her mother’s deceit which saw her ripped from the bosom of her childhood home – the sleepy fishing village of Puerto Cisnes, Southern Chile, at age fourteen, away from her beloved Andes. A true testament of the human spirit, Fern and Andes’ story reminds us of the power of the human condition which, confronted by the kind of “dis-ease” each of us face at many times in our lives, by some soulful gift is capable of transcending the human elements of regret, fear and resentment and forge its way along the path to Oneness.
