A review by malikasbooks
River Queens by Alexander Watson
5.0
A truly excellent yarn - funny, sincere, and a window into a different world.
My uncle Alexander has always been a great storyteller, but his power is in dialogue. The patois is thick but still clear, and his description of body language and tone make the conversations come alive in my mind.
What strikes me most are the stories of our family, not often talked about. Raw and true stories of pain and loss are interesting coming from a stranger but too acute in my own house.
