Go as a River
Lotte’s Review:
A fine and beautiful book that reminded me of the Crawdads. The writing makes you feel the peaches and heat of Colorado, takes you by the hand and tells you an amazing story. Love, grief, burdens of loss and hope - a captivating book you will want to reread. One of my favorites of 2023.
1940s, Colorado.
Teenage Victoria Nash is the sole surviving woman in a family of troubled men. She spends her days running the household on her family's peach farm.
Wilson Moon is a young drifter with a mysterious past. Displaced from his tribal land, he wants to believe one place is just like another.
When Victoria and Wil meet on a street corner, their unexpected connection ignites both passion and danger, revelations and secrets.
But when tragedy strikes, Victoria is propelled 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, she will arrive at a single rocky decision that will change her life for ever.
After shooting wraps, Nora finds Leo on her porch with a half-empty bottle of tequila and a proposition. He’ll pay a thousand dollars a day to stay for a week. She could use the money, but it’s the need in his eyes that makes her say yes. Seven days: it’s the blink of an eye or an eternity depending on how you look at it. Enough time to fall in love. Enough time to break your heart.
