Delia reviewed Go As a River by Shelley Read
Details made this a stronger book
5 stars
Plot-wise, in some ways was predictable, but the details (e.g. knowledge of the soil, the delivery of placenta which is so often overlooked in fiction, the excellent writing skills of a character being explained) lifted the story from being maudlin. I particularly appreciate that rape wasn’t used as a plot point, and the willingness to make space for a not happy ending.
