My review: The beginning of The River did not flow very smoothly, but once I got into the book a little way the story line seemed to move along more easily. I think there were too many "voices" at the beginning and that caused things to be a bit disjointed. Once I got into the book I thoroughly enjoyed it. Beverly Lewis has a way of telling a story that makes the characters come alive. This is another great Amish fiction that is a bit out of the ordinary. The unusual plot makes for a great read! I received a complimentary e-copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
