Diane Setterfield masterfully weaves a beautiful, suspenseful mystery in Once Upon a River, which opens with a seriously wounded man stumbles into an inn with a dead little girl in his arms. But then, just a few hours later, life returns to her body and an important question arises — who does she belong to? The mute child can't give an answer herself, so the families in town begin to battle over her true identity, a fight that will keep you engrossed until the very last page.
