The Riverman

More about the book

Set in 1872 along a river bend, the story unfolds in a secluded area dominated by dense hardwood forests and a two-story mill. The landscape is vividly described, with the spring foliage beginning to emerge and a strong wind creating rippling waves on the pond's surface. Floating logs create a barrier at the river's mouth, transforming the stream into a walkable pathway. This rich natural setting serves as a backdrop for the narrative, evoking a sense of isolation and the beauty of the wilderness.
