«El río que nos lleva» is the novel by José Luis Sampedro, published by Ediciones Alfaguara in paperback (437 pages, in Spanish).
A crew of log drivers transports timber along the Tagus River to Aranjuez, a dangerous trade requiring balance and courage. The arrival of Paula, a mysterious woman who stirs passions, and of Shannon, an Irishman just out of the war, reveals the dignity and solidarity of those men.
