ONCE UPON A RIVER (PB)

On a dark midwinter’s night in an ancient inn on the Thames, the regulars are entertaining themselves by telling stories when the door bursts open and in steps an injured stranger. In his arms is the body of a drowned child. Hours later, the dead girl stirs, takes a breath and returns to life. Is it a miracle, or magic? And who does the little girl belong to? An exquisitely crafted multi-layered mystery brimming with folklore, suspense, romance, and the urgent scientific curiosity of Victorian England.
