I have a love/hate relationship with my iPhone, but it came through for me this morning. I was reading this book on an Android device yesterday when the library recalled the book. I thought I was going to have to wait eight weeks to pick it up again. But it was still on my iPhone this morning, and I was able to finish it in between meetings (yay! first day back at work - booooo...).

Glad I finished it. Not sure I would've remembered where I was in eight weeks. There was so little action, that it's hard for me to express what happened in between the action in all the many, nearly 400 pages. There was definitely beauty in the book, as well as humor, sadness, more sadness, and even more sadness. Yes, it was a sad book.

The book is titled after a river which is the most powerful passive character in it.

I give it a thumbs up, but be prepared for a slow, slow sadness. At least each chapter is very short, which makes the book a lot easier to read, even with 112 of them!
