MY REVIEW
🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳
I’d like to thank Love Book Tours for including me on their book tour for Along the Endless River.
This was a wonderful Historical Fiction read centered on the rise and fall of the Amazon rubber business from the point of view of a young English woman, Katharine, and her family.
Katharine’s new husband dies on the dangerous trip up the Amazon to their newly purchased land. Katharine must make the decision to continue on, create a home and build a thriving rubber business or go home to her family, penniless.
“But to get to these Elysian Fields, they would have to journey deep into the dark heart of the forest, braving whirlpools and waterfalls, snakes and savages, poisoned arrows and piranhas”
The beautiful scenery described, the heartbreaking treatment of the indigenous people and the strength and bravery of Katharine to build a life in this strange land made this a beautiful, captivating read. So many heartbreaking moments, dastardly characters, racism, rape, slavery – so many difficult subject matters. But to offset that are courageous people, unstoppable bravery, friendships and love.
Fans of Historical Fiction, strong female leads and adventurous stories will all love this new book by Rose Alexander!
