Once Upon a River

Some say the river drowned her...Some say it brought her back to life.

On a dark midwinter’s night in an ancient inn on the Thames, the regulars are entertaining themselves by telling stories when the door bursts open and in steps an injured stranger. In his arms is the drowned corpse of a child.

Hours later, the dead girl stirs, takes a breath and returns to life.

Is it a miracle?

Is it magic?

And who does the little girl belong to?

An exquisitely crafted multi-layered mystery brimming with folklore, suspense and romance, as well as with the urgent scientific curiosity of the Darwinian age, Once Upon a River is as richly atmospheric as Setterfield’s bestseller The Thirteenth Tale.

Unii spun ca raul a inecat-o ... Unii spun ca a readus-o la viata. Intr-o noapte intunecata de toamna intr-un han antic de pe Tamisa, oamenii obisnuiti se distreaza spunand povesti cand usa se deschide si, in trepte, un strain ranit . In bratele sale este cadavrul inecat al unui copil. Cateva ore mai tarziu, fata moarta se agita, respira si se intoarce la viata. Este un miracol? Este magie? Si cui ii apartine fetita? mister stratificat plin de folclor, suspans si romantism, precum si cu curiozitatea stiintifica urgenta din epoca darwiniana, Once Upon a River este la fel de bogat ca atmosfera ca bestseller-ul lui Setterfield The Thirteen Tale.
