I am currently reading the book "After River" by Donna Milner.
The story takes place on a 1960's dairy farm in British Columbia, its main character: Natalie Ward. The Ward family have a relationship that makes them inseparable. But things change when "River" arrives as their new worker. As River's stay lengthens, Natalie's affections for him grow stronger. Then, the summer of Natalie's seventeenth birthday, the Ward Family's relationships are changed forever.
Although the synopsis of this book dulled me exceedingly, I found it became more compelling as I proceeded. Until its' depressing downfall, it had seemed adequate. After that, it just became unreasonable! I think the plot of a novel should be somewhat logical and conceivable. However, if you are into staged, over-the-top, semi-romantic novels you may not have the same issue as me.

I found that your summary totally captivated me (you really made the book sound good) rather than presented me with a dull storyline, as it obviously did you.
ReplyDeleteIt is very interesting how different people's tastes in books can be.
Did you manage to finish this book - or could you not tolerate it any longer?
Yes, I ended up finishing it.
