First off, the cover is stunning! It depicts the book so well. Once Upon A River is such a good storytelling! I loved the precedent the author gave of the local history and how the lives of the people in the book transpired to that very moment starting in chapter one. Joe Bliss, Margot Ockwell, and Jonathan are a unique family with insightful backgrounds to their lives. The visual language and constant build up of each character gives the story a wonderful telling that touches the soul. The change of pace provided by the mysterious man showing up at the Swan in Radcot, gives a wonderment to the reader as to what will happen next. The little girl the man carried, is she dead? Jonathan’s kiss broke my heart, he truly felt he could save her. Anyways I definitely want to buy a physical copy of the book, it’s so great!
