Once Upon a River

By Diane Setterfield

A mystery unfolds after a young girl is pulled from the River Thames near a quiet English hamlet, and only deepends as the town pulls together to find answers. Compelling characters and an incredible sense of time and place are woven together in this captivating period piece replete with folklore, suspense, and the urgent scientific curiosity of the Darwinian age.

Reading and discussion for Once Upon a River begin on October 15th.
