A review by nadjatiktinsky
The River by Peter Heller

If you just finished Where the Crawdads Sing and are absolutely itching to find another author who will send you that deep into the natural world again, this is the one to read. Like Delia Owens, Heller is a nonfiction-nature-writer-turned-novelist. Like Crawdads, the description in this book is so good that you barely even care what the plot is. Dark, twisty, and very deeply rooted in place.
