Once Upon a River by Diane Setterfield

dark emotional mysterious slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

Slow to start. Plot doesn't really pick up until half way through. Then the separate threads start to intertwine and it gets more interesting. Bit of magical realism too which I enjoyed.
