'Shelley Read's lyrical voice is a force of nature and when she
lends it to a woman leading a hardscrabble life in rural Colorado,
the result is tragic, uplifting and completely unforgettable'
BONNIE GARMUS, author of LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY' 'A beautiful,
compassion-filled debut' DAILY MAIL 'A compelling tale of love and
a heroine fighting back' PATRICK GALE ______________ On a cool
autumn day in 1948, Victoria Nash delivers late-season peaches from
her family's farm set amid the wild beauty of Colorado. As she
heads into her village, a dishevelled stranger stops to ask her the
way. How she chooses to answer will unknowingly alter the course of
both their young lives. So begins the mesmerising story of
split-second choices and courageous acts that propel Victoria away
from the only home she has ever known and towards a reckoning with
loss, hope and her own untapped strength. Gathering all the pieces
of her small and extraordinary existence, spinning through the
eddies of desire, heartbreak and betrayal, she will arrive at a
single rocky decision that will change her life for ever. GO AS A
RIVER is a heart-wrenching coming-of-age story and a drama of
enthralling power. Combining unforgettable characters and a
breathtaking natural setting, it is a sweeping story of survival
and becoming, of the deepest mysteries of love, truth and fate.
________________ 'A lush, beautiful, strong book. It took me on
such a transformative life journey. I could not put it down' CLOVER
STROUD 'Completely spellbinding, vivid, and luminous' JANE GREEN
'Go As a River delivers so very much: the tenderness and curiosity
of young love, the eternal pangs of loss, the brutality of racism,
the sustaining power of nature and the miracle of a mother's love.
Suffused with wisdom and compassion, this shattering testimony to
life must be savored, treasured, shared' MEG WAITE CLAYTON, author
of The Postmistress of Paris
