suespiry 's review for:
The River King
by Alice Hoffman
Alice Hoffman's writing is, as always, luminous rich, and engaging. Perhaps, however, it was not the best time for me to read The River King, as it only reinforced my (probably hormonally induced) sense of melancholy. The underlying tension in this book runs as consistently and as relentlessly as the river that is as much a character in this book as the people in the fictional town of Haddam, MA.
