Was der Fluss erzählt by Diane Setterfield

adventurous dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? N/A

3.0

If not for the discriminatory language in some parts of the German translation and the stereotypes used to describe the wandering river folk, that could be put in if it served a purpose or was put next to positive assessments by some of the more aware and kind characters, I would have given more stars.
