Not a River by Selva Almada
3.75
challenging emotional reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Beautiful writing that evokes a flowing river changing course suddenly. I'm really glad I took the time to read this as it was quite a challenging read for one that is so short. At times I did get confused as there is a lot of changing between characters and timelines with no warning.
