When the drowned corpse of a little child returns to life after being pulled from the Thames, a host of questions demand answering. Is it a miracle? Or is it science? The long-anticipated return of a masterful storyteller, Once Upon a River is replete with folklore, myth, suspense and romance. It is as richly atmospheric and spellbinding as Diane Setterfield's bestseller The Thirteenth Tale.  An exquisitely crafted multi-layered mystery.
