OMG where has this book been that I haven't found it sooner. I loved it. If someone wasn't waiting for it, I think I'd read it again. This is such a beautifully written novel. About a young girl who drowns in a river that is protected by the government to keep it natural. She is caught under the water and to remove her, the river will have to be disturbed. There is her family who naturally want her body back and then there are those who do not want the river disturbed and they say "if she is in the river then that is the way it is, and to leave her there". I read the whole book in one night. I just could not put it down. Beautiful... stick in your mind... story.
