Why read it?
1 author picked Dark River as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This thrilling novel explores what we would do in the face of eco-catastrophe in a really unique way. Two young women—one in Doggerland in 6200 BC and the other in London in 2156—find themselves fleeing to save themselves and their children as the world they’ve always known becomes uninhabitable. The trick of using the same landscape, separated by eight thousand years brings a wonderful sense of perspective to the story, and to our own place in the world.
From Neil's list on fantasy whose location is the heart of the story.
