«Once Upon a River» is the historical mystery novel by Diane Setterfield, published by Transworld Ltd in paperback (544 pages, in English).
In Victorian England, one deep-winter night, parishioners gathered at an old inn on the banks of the Thames see a wounded stranger enter carrying the corpse of a drowned girl. Hours later, the child breathes again. Between miracle, magic and science, the novel weaves folklore, suspense and romance as everyone wonders who this girl is and to whom she belongs.
The cover presents it as a Sunday Times bestseller. Standalone work; not part of any saga.
For readers of historical mystery and atmospheric narrative with elements of folklore and fantasy. From the author of «La decimotercera historia» («The Thirteenth Tale»).
Diane Setterfield is an English author whose 2006 debut novel, The Thirteenth Tale, became a New York Times No. 1 best-seller.
