Once Upon a River, by Bonnie Jo Campbell

3.0

I love Margo’s toughness, ingenuity, resourcefulness and fierceness. I love her wildness and fascination with the river and Annie Oakley. I do not love her use of sex to survive and her frequent rapes and poor choices. Her mother was a cartoon, as was Cal. But Margo was an interesting and likeable heroine. I appreciate her building connection with Smoke and the life she will soon bring into the world.
