A review by grayjay
Slow River by Nicola Griffith
4.0
Slow River is a tense and slow-building novel of corporate espionage, physical and emotional abuse and manipulation. Lore runs away from her wealthy family after she is kidnapped and they don't pay her randsome. She spends the next years building a seperate identity and uncovering what really happened.
It was dark and painful and sexy. I liked that Lore's attraction to women was an unremarkable fact in the novel—just another part of her—which I think is bold for a novel from the 90s.
