{"product_id":"the-river-tricia-wastvedt-9780802170071","title":"The River","description":"Tricia Wastvedt's debut novel, met with critical acclaim in England, is a hypnotically readable portrait of a community scarred, but eventually reawakened, by its grief. Two children drown during the summer of 1958 in the English village of Cameldip. Their parents, Isabel and Robert, are bound together in guilt and anger, and as the years pass, the tragedy weaves itself into the invisible fabric of village life.\u003cbr\u003eRobert, finding solace in labor, builds several tree houses that transform the look of the town, and as the years pass the structures grow entwined with other houses. It is thirty years after the tragedy when Anna, a young pregnant woman escaping her life in London, arrives in Cameldip and is taken in by Isabel. As Anna slowly uncovers the secrets of the town's past, she becomes inexorably drawn into the conflict in which Isabel and Robert have been locked for three decades. A story of families, old scars, and new beginnings, The River is a lyrical and haunting tale of betrayal, failure, love, and fortitude.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tricia Wastvedt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802170072\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802170071\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press, Black Cat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.44h x 5.56w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2005 pg. 77\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2005 pg. 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2005 pg. 121\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2005 pg. 1143\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/28\/2005 pg. 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKliatt\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2006 pg. 18","brand":"Tricia Wastvedt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48658930204927,"sku":"9780802170071","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-river-tricia-wastvedt-9780802170071","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
