Once
Upon a River
By: Bonnie Jo Campbell
Genre: adult fiction
Pages: 348
Published: 2011
Read: March
3.5 out of 5
This is a
well-written book that evokes a lot of feelings towards the characters. As much
as Margo tries to be independent, she fails miserably. She becomes dependent on
every man she encounters along her travels in search of her mom. I prefer novels with stronger female
characters versus damsels in distress, however I still loved the fact that
Campbell developed her characters so well that I become emotional attached to
the story. As much as I wanted to strangle Margo at times, I also wanted to cry
alongside her. I recommend this book for readers that want strong character
development even if the story isn’t happily ever after or a pretty read.
