I was highly impressed with this novel, and the chances the author was willing to take.While some readers may find the beginning sections unique, in that they are presented from the perspective of a child, this truly does allow the reader to experience the significant payoff that occurs during the evolution of the story. Trust the author in that it's necessary for you to connect and relate to these characters not only as adults, but at the begining stages of their lives that forumulate who they go on to become.The story seemed to convey how love and loss can hauntingly follow us in life no matter how hard we try to break free, and I found myself almost heartbroken for these characters as they tried to find happiness in spite of their shared past. Written in a completely visceral style, I really couldn't put it down.If you're looking for an impressive and important novel that's filled with truth, I can't recommend A River Rose highly enough.
