Lee and Victoria weren’t the only ones to love “Go As A River” by Shelley Read… Here is what the QBD crew thought:
Written by debut author Shelley Read, “Go As A River” is beautiful, strong, and demands to be read.
This luminous novel begins when Torie Nash heads into her village pulling a wagon filled with late-season peaches. As she nears an intersection, a mysterious drifter with grimy thumbs and dark eyes stops to ask her the way. She could turn left or cross over. But she does not. Her heart skips a beat as he whispers, ‘go as a river’. From this point on, a mesmerising story begins to unfold as Torie begins to absorb and follow his words.
Perfect for fans of ‘Where The Crawdads Sing’, “Go As A River” is a soaring tale of a young woman’s journey to becoming, the tenderness of young love, home and resilience, and overall, it is a breathtaking exploration of our connection to nature. Suffused with wisdom and compassion, this shattering story will be savoured, treasured, and shared for years to come.
