Slow River by Nicola Griffith

2.0

Starts promising but never really goes anywhere beyond pretty trite soap opera abuse and redemption narratives. I never found myself believing that Lore, the narrator/main character, actually is a good person instead of just being very concerned with being perceived as one despite her awful family and her own awful actions. This story would've been a lot better if Lore wasn't some hyper-competent heiress. Yawn.
