A review by welsh_witch
Slow River by Nicola Griffith

I found this story so intriguing—by the end it was really a page-turner. Griffith makes the near-future world seem so real, peopled by a huge variety of characters. I think my favorite parts were the crunchy bits having to do with the water remediation. It took a while to get used to the three narrative strands, but I see what Griffith was going for—she’s treating Lore at different parts of her life as different characters, because that’s how Lore sees it. I am curious about what the story would be like if told totally chronologically, but I did like it this way.
