Once Upon a River – Diane Setterfield (Miękka oprawa)

'I was completely spellbound' – Madeline Miller, author of Circe Some say the river drowned her… Some say it brought her back to life On a dark midwinter's night in an ancient inn on the Thames, the regulars are entertaining themselves by telling stories when the door bursts open and in steps an injured stranger. In his arms is the drowned corpse of a child. Hours later, the dead girl stirs, takes a breath and returns to life. Is it a miracle? Is it magic? And who does the little girl belong to? An exquisitely crafted historical mystery brimming with folklore, suspense and romance, as well as with the urgent scientific curiosity of the Victorian age. Praise for Diane Setterfield- 'Once Upon a River continues to demonstrate Setterfield***** 'Pure escapism, a beautifully written story.arker edge.'
