Swan is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Isla Mackinnon, a strong and caring young woman who must confront the financial ruin threatening her family estate, the Castle of Achree, due to her brother Malcolm’s reckless behavior and debts.

At the start of the novel, Isla is introduced as the primary caretaker of her home and family, navigating a landscape filled with ghosts from the past, both literal and metaphorical. She learns about her brother's imminent return from the army following a disgraceful dismissal, compounding the family's troubles. While she must prepare to shield her ailing father from these harsh truths, Isla also considers renting Achree to a wealthy American family to alleviate their financial woes. The opening sets the stage for a powerful exploration of family loyalty, the weight of ancestral legacy, and the struggle for survival against the backdrop of a declining estate.
