Book Review: Moore, The Swap

Category: Books
Posted on: July 7, 2007 8:50 AM, by Martin R

Antony Moore's novel The Swap is set in southern England in 2006 and revolves around a school reunion of people born in 1970. It's a murder mystery and a love story, a humorous tale about being startled out of complacency and boredom by unexpected events, about letting go of your past and moving on. It's quite engrossing but should carry a prominent warning sticker: This Book Has an Infuriatingly Open Ending.


Moore, Antony. 2007. The Swap. London: Harvill Secker. 278 pp. ISBN 978-1-8465-5070-6.
