It is not until she sees a small body in the shallow water that she realizes what has happened. Her young son has drowned. The Women of Standfast, Jamaica, whisper that she let Timothy die so that she could seize her chance to join her mother in America. Numb with grief, Kelithe lacks the strength to confront them. She can only wait for the funeral. And for her mother to come stand by her at last. What really happened at the river? It is a question Kelithe's mother cannot ask and an accusation Kelithe will not answer. And it lies at the heart of this shattering novel of promises kept and broken. In spare prose, Donna Hemans lays bare the human heart, exploring the unyielding bonds joining mother and child and the many facets of truth., An acclaimed first novel written with stark lyricism, River Woman explores the ties that bind mother to child and weaves a mesmerising tale of promises broken and dreams deferred. A remarkably assured and insightful debut offers a finely tuned, sympathetic portrait of a teenaged mother' - Kirkus (STARRED)'
