by Shelley Read (Author)
Traducida a más de treinta idiomas, Como si fuera un río se ha convertido en un fenómeno internacional que ha cautivado el corazón de más de un millón de lectores en todo el mundo.
Ambientada en medio de la belleza agreste del Oeste americano, esta desgarradora ópera prima de Shelley Read narra el drama de una joven cuya vida cambia para siempre a causa de un encuentro casual: una novela trágica y edificante sobre el amor y la pérdida, los prejuicios y la familia, la supervivencia y la esperanza.
Iola, Colorado, 1948. Victoria Nash es una joven de diecisiete años que ayuda a su familia a cultivar melocotones a orillas del río Gunnison. La vida parece sonreírle cuando conoce por casualidad a Wilson Moon, un joven vagabundo con un pasado misterioso, de piel morena y ojos negros y brillantes, si bien la chispa que se enciende entre ellos acabará desencadenando tanta pasión como desgracia. Y cuando la tragedia les golpea, Victoria decide abandonar la vida que lleva y huir a las montañas para protegerse a sí misma y el secreto que guarda en su interior. Con el paso de las estaciones, Victoria consigue hallar fuerzas para recuperarse y seguir adelante, gracias también a su amistad con mujeres tan fuertes y valientes como ella, aunque muy diferentes.
"Beautiful . . . A striking first novel of love and strength and growth, set against the forests and rivers of Colorado's high country. Read is a gifted writer, and the book is a literary triumph."--Denver Post
"With gorgeous descriptions of the great outdoors, an illicit love story, and an unforgettable protagonist, Go as a River offers something for everyone."--Real Simple Seventeen-year-old Victoria Nash runs the household on her family's peach farm in the small ranch town of Iola, Colorado--the sole surviving female in a family of troubled men. Wilson Moon is a young drifter with a mysterious past, displaced from his tribal land and determined to live as he chooses. Victoria encounters Wil by chance on a street corner, a meeting that profoundly alters both of their young lives, unknowingly igniting as much passion as danger. When tragedy strikes, Victoria leaves the only life she has ever known. She flees into the surrounding mountains where she struggles to survive in the wilderness with no clear notion of what her future will bring. As the seasons change, she also charts the changes in herself, finding in the beautiful but harsh landscape the meaning and strength to move forward and rebuild all that she has lost, even as the Gunnison River threatens to submerge her homeland--its ranches, farms, and the beloved peach orchard that has been in her family for generations. Inspired by true events surrounding the destruction of the town of Iola in the 1960s, Go as a River is a story of deeply held love in the face of hardship and loss, but also of finding courage, resilience, friendship, and, finally, home--where least expected. This stunning debut explores what it means to lead your life as if it were a river--gathering and flowing, finding a way forward even when a river is dammed.
