After river

Until she was 15, Natalie Ward believed her world was perfect and that her family would always be together on the small dairy farm carved out of a remote mountain valley in Southern British Columbia. Then came River, the American draft dodger who became her family's hired hand the summer that a new highway opened the valley to the larger world beyond. But thirty-five years after River's arrival, the Ward family is shattered. With her mother dying, Natalie must return to the home she has spent her entire adult life running from, as the family's dark secrets and betrayals threaten to scar a new generation. Evoking Mary Lawson's Crow Lake and Carol Shields' Unless, Milner renders characters who are achingly human and plots a story with masterful precision. After River eloquently captures the moral and social upheavals of the late '60s and marks the emergence of a dazzling Canadian talent.

  • "Een 15-jarig meisje leeft in de jaren zestig met ouders en broers op een kleine boerderij in Canada bij de grens met de VS; de komst van een jonge Amerikaan die de dienstplicht in Vietnam ontvlucht, veroorzaakt veel onrust."
  • "Growing up on a dairy farm in British Columbia in the 1960s, just north of the American border, Natalie Ward knew little of the outside world. But she had her family - a family so close and loving that Natalie believed they were the envy of everybody in the nearby town of Atwood. But Natalie began to question her family's idyllic existence the summer she turned 15. The arrival of an American draft-dodger called River tests the morals and beliefs of the family and the community to breaking point. The series of events following that summer day leaves relationships shattered and the Ward family changed forever."
