Into This River I Drown
by TJ Klune
Wow.
A man consumed by grief and anger following his fathers untimely death. A guardian Angel coming down to look after a town but more specifically after the man who he loves. After falling, said angel and the man then accidentally becomes a part of a sinister plan that was cooked up by some evil people. This book is part murder mystery, part paranormal with a side of sweet romance and a heavy dose of emotional turmoil.
Big sad.
BIG.
I ugly cried.
Into This River I Drown was a beautiful novel. Clearly this book was written to help someone work through their grief- be it his own or his audience’s.
As usual TJ Klune wrote moving and poetic words that left an ache in my chest.
He truly is an artist and I would read a grocery list if he was the one who wrote it.
Cal was a beautiful character. He made me happy when he was on the page. Benji was so complex, he was a character full of contradictions. He was soft and hard, strong and weak. Full of loss but full of love. He was human and it was lovely. And though Big Eddie was a post mortem character. His presence was big and strong and always there. The relationship and the love he had with his son was inspiring and heart breaking and was the type of love everyone wants to have from their family members. It was beautiful.
The River was a terrifying symbol. Klune gave personality to The River. It pulled Benji under and I could feel the sorrow and the anger and the fear of being pulled under completely. It was an apt metaphor for grief.
I love everything TJ Klune writes. This was no exception. Another five star from me.
