I had high expectations with this book and I am very happy to have discovered that it is actually a very well written literary work with an engaging plot. Definitely one of the best books I have read this year. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ wonderful book, not as wonderful as the critics say *by D***L on 10 June 2026* Beautifully written; this is a writer who is a literary star. I loved the story, but the ending disappointed. It's like she decided to move on to another project. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ deep story, moving and pleasing *by N***R on 2 April 2022* In this book words and ideas and twists flow like a river to the reader's mind, steady, calm, pleasing. The story is centered around a 4 year old girl in the 19th century in England. Who is she, and what happened to her? The Vaughans want her to be their daughter Amelia, kidnapped two years ago. The Armstrongs want her to be their grandchild Alice, lost some weeks ago. Lily wants her to be her sister Ann. And nurse Rita, a strong woman without a family, without a wish of bearing a child herself, she also could imagine to raise this girl. And above all these uncertain story-lines is the big mystery of that amazing night in Radcot upon Thames, when the girl appeared out of nowhere. Found in the arms of a man, who almost drowned in the river, she seemed to be dead. No breath, no blood-pressure, no heart-beat. And a little later the amazing fact is: She is alive. How that? Was she really dead? Was it only a "wrong impression"? But she was dead! This book is like a river, flowing, sometimes with a strong current, sometimes slowly, calm. It is a most moving human story about parents and grandparents and sisters and nurses and a little child. It is a story about love and the mystery of life. It is a lovely book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Once Upon a River: The Sunday Times bestseller - The Thirteenth Tale - The Lost Bookshop: The most charming and uplifting novel of 2023 and the perfect gift for book lovers! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/250984293-once-upon-a-river-the-sunday-times-bestseller](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/250984293-once-upon-a-river-the-sunday-times-bestseller) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-02*
