A review by lauriebuchanan
The River by Starlight by Ellen Notbohm

5.0

I can't remember the last time I read a novel of such sweeping proportion of EMOTION (it will plummet you to the depths and then buoy you straight up again); TIME (it spans decades), and LANDSCAPE (the Big Sky country of Montana and Alberta). How the author was able to nail the details, including vernacular, of the homestead period boggles my mind. Further, this engaging tale is based on true events—amazing! I’m confident that this five-star read will captivate your heart as well. I loved THE RIVER BY STARLIGHT and highly recommend it.
