Product Information
It was the longest of nights, when the strangest of things happened... the spell-binding novel from best-selling author Diane Setterfield will captivate readers in its multi-layered mystery. 'I was completely spellbound' - Ruth Hogan, author of The Keeper of Lost Things 'Setterfield is a master storyteller' - Madeline Miller, author of Circe Some say the river drowned her... Some say it brought her back to life On a dark midwinter's night in an ancient inn on the Thames, the regulars are entertaining themselves by telling stories when the door bursts open and in steps an injured stranger. In his arms is the drowned corpse of a child. Hours later, the dead girl stirs, takes a breath and returns to life. Is it a miracle? Is it magic? And who does the little girl belong to? An exquisitely crafted historical mystery brimming with folklore, suspense and romance, as well as with the urgent scientific curiosity of the Victorian age. ____________________ Praise for Diane Setterfield- 'An absolute feast of a book, which will keep you engrossed' RED magazine 'Brimming with folklore, intrigue and romance, this is a story to savour' Woman & Home 'Once Upon a River continues to demonstrate Setterfield's mastery of the Gothic genre in a way that will appeal to modern readers' The Independent Readers are captivated by Once Upon a River- ***** 'Pure escapism, a beautifully written story.' ***** 'It felt as comforting as the fantastical stories you read as a child yet with a darker edge.' ***** 'I was entranced from the beginning to the end.'Product Identifiers

A long-winded read
Very laboured and precious text, I'm afraid, which could do with serious editing and pruning. It suffers from a great deal of telling rather than showing; I suspect that if cut to half its length it would be much better.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A wonderful fairytale/mystery
Lovely writing, flooded with watery metaphors. A clever mystery woven in to life in the 1800s as a rough guess. It was my book club’s choice and I would never usually have chosen it. But what a lovely surprise! I absolutely loved it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
