Description

The river Fineflour flows though this narrative as it flows through the town, linking time and place, character and event. A source of myth and memory, it brings tragedy as well as comfort. In these interlinked stories, there is an undercurrent of sadness and suspended grief that is balanced by a tenderness and an unconventional sense of the comic.
