"Moving and impressive, strongly atmospheric. A remarkable achievement."-Penelope Lively
". . . skillfully evokes a sense of impending doom . . . with a finale that Daphne du Maurier herself would have been proud of."-Daily Mail
"All the more poignant for being set amid beautiful countryside, and full of brooding sadness right up to the unexpected horror of the ending."-Times
During the summer of 1958 in the English village of Cameldip, two children drown while playing in a leaky boat on the river. Their parents, Isabel and Robert, are bound together in guilt and anger. Thirty years later, a young woman secretly pregnant and determined to make a new start for herself arrives in Cameldip. Taken in by Isabel, she slowly uncovers the secrets of the village's past and is inexorably drawn into the conflict.
A story of families, old secrets, and new beginnings, The River is a lyrical and haunting tale of betrayal, failure, love, and fortitude. |
