Krátky popis
‘After many years I had excised myself from the life I had led in
town, just as one might cut a figure out of a landscape or group
photo. Abashed by the harm I had wreaked on the picture left
behind, and unsure where the cut-out might end up next, I lived a
provisional existence. I did so in a place where I knew none of my
neighbours, where the street names, views, smells and faces were
all unfamiliar to me, in a cheaply appointed flat where I would be
able to lay my life aside for a while.’ In River, a woman moves to
a London suburb for reasons that are unclear.She takes long,
solitary walks by the River Lea, observing and describing her
surroundings and the unusual characters she encounters. Over the
course of these wanderings she amasses a collection of found
objects and photographs and is drawn into reminiscences of the
different rivers which haunted the various stages of her life, from
the Rhine, where she grew up, to the Saint Lawrence, the Hooghly,
and the banks of the Oder. Written in language that is as precise
as it is limpid, River is a remarkable novel, full of poignant
images and poetic observations, an ode to nature, edgelands, and
the transience of all things human.
