Amanda Saint's debut novel is a juicy Pandora's Box of mysteries and revelations. Alison Moore, Man-Booker Prize-shortlisted author of The Lighthouse It is rare that I find a book outside of the thriller genre so compulsively addictive, but As If I Were a River was so beautifully written that I found it virtually impossible to put down. An absolutely outstanding debut, written so beautifully that I couldn't help but form an immensely strong emotional link to the characters as their journey unfolded. As If I Were A River is something so completely out of the ordinary that it warrants every single one of the five stars that I have awarded it. Michelle Ryles, The Book Magnet Blog
