Book Reviews of River Woman: A Novel
Book Review: A good read
Summary: 4 Stars
River Woman was very interesting. At times I thought it was slow moving and it was hard to tell sometimes whom was talking. After a while I wanted to stop reading it because I thought it wasn't moving fast enough but somehow the characters drew me in. I wanted to continue reading to find out if Kelithe allowed her son to drown. This book is very sad just reading about Kelithe's mother did not stand by her or feel like she was her daughter. Her mother Sonya is a hypocrite because she attempted an abortion when she was pregnant with Kelithe. It made me wonder, why couldn't Sonya show her daughter any love? And the reaction of the town was just aweful but this book made me think. This is not a book for entertainment but for thinking and seeing a trajedy from a different perspective.
If someone is interested in a funny and entertaining book this one is not it. This is a riveting book that takes you places where most of us have never been.
