What the River Keeps
$4.99
The summer the river fell, it gave back everything.
A record drought has shrunk the Atchafalaya to a brown ribbon, and the dry Louisiana bayous are giving up their secrets. Hydrologist Celeste Arceneaux returns to St. Odile Parish for the first time in eleven years to measure the creeping salt water, and to check on her grandmother, who has stopped eating and started walking down to the river at night. Then the falling water reveals a car that has been hidden at the bottom of Bayou Noir for decades, and with it the truth about her family's grand old house, Belle Ombre.
A lush, haunting Southern Gothic novel about buried history, family secrets and what the water remembers.
