We can feel the sharpness of the rocks and the trilling excitement of the river as it approaches rapids.' - Denise Mina, The New York Times The River is a fiction addition to the New Landscape writing of Robert Macfarlane and Rebecca Solnit, prose so vivid and engaging that a city-dwelling reviewer can feel the clammy cold of a fog over a river or the heat of subterranean tree roots burning underfoot in the aftermath of a fire. A suspenseful tale told with glorious drama and lyrical flair. A beautiful, heartrending exploration of male friendship' - Clare Mackintosh 'Urgent, visceral writing - I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. 'Lyrical and action-packed by turns.' - The Guardian ' The River is both beautifully written, a crisp, ice cold immersion in the glory of the wilderness, and unbearably tense, as peril moves in on Heller's gratifyingly competent explorers, whose deep friendship is tenderly evoked.' - The Observer
