About this book

The Harlow house has stood over the river for ninety years, and three generations of Harlows have sworn — at different times, for different reasons — never to sell it. Now the river is rising, the roof is failing, and they are all coming home at once.

Tender, clear-eyed and quietly funny, Where the River Remembers is a novel about memory and the places that keep it: recipe cards in familiar handwriting, a porch swing with opinions, and the long work of forgiving the people you love most.

What’s inside

  • Hardcover with river-cloth binding and ribbon marker
  • Family tree of the Harlows, 1934 to today
  • The Harlow recipe cards mentioned in chapter nine
  • Reading-group guide with twelve discussion questions

Read an excerpt

“The house remembered things they had all agreed to forget — that was the trouble with houses, her grandmother used to say. They keep better minutes than families do.”
— Where the River Remembers by Marlowe Reed
