Paul Ataua's Reviews > Slow River

It was quite difficult to get into the story with its three intertwining narratives taking in place in three different time periods in Lore’s, life, and it was complicated further by the fact that two of these were from a first person point of view while the third was from a third person point of view, which was also confusing. I kept reading, hanging in there, spurred on by my interest in the story taking place in the sewage cleaning plant, and was finally rewarded as the three parts came together in the end. Yes, I guess it has been touted as a SF lesbian story, but that really doesn’t capture what is important about it. It is a thriller and a mystery and a very impressive novel.
