Title: A Compelling First Novel
Product review: Athol Dickson is a rarity among novelists in that he has written a story that is both suspenseful and well-crafted. His prose is unblemished, but he never neglects his plot. The biblical imagery woven throughout River Rising comes across as organic, rather than forced. The novel's suprises are satisfying and rich.It was eery reading this book in the wake of Katrina. River Rising helped me understand the geography of the region as well as the culture of southern Louisiana.
