A review by colleengeedrumm
At the Water's Edge by Sara Gruen

4.0

I'm giving it 4 stars, but really more of a 3.5. Well told, typical Gruen, with a happy ending. The author brings up many issues, and I could relate to the difficult characters, although it starts out somewhat slow. A definite good read though.

The lamplight flickered off the bottles on the shelves behind the bar, reflected and amplified by the mirror behind them. It looked for all the world like there was an identical, inverted room just beyond, and for a moment I wondered if I was in the wrong one.

I was dizzy with food-lust.

I’d never had beer before-our crowd considered it lowbrow-and I sipped it with apprehension.
