I knew I was going to love this book within the first 5 pages

I knew I was going to love this book within the first 5 pages. It's a book about story telling, set in an old world. I don't usually read this genre, but I was captivated by the book cover. It is all about the lives (and deaths) of people living along the Thames river. And love and loss. It has a little bit of everything in it and all of the characters are diverse. It represents a lot of family values, and was a peaceful read. I shall head back out to the bookstore and see what else she has written. This review is written on Bookish First and it will be my first and last review here. 500 characters minimum is more than enough to review a good book. Anymore and you have to go into telling the story. So, in summary, this book was absolutely wonderful. This site? I'm not so sure of.
