  About the book: Vallie Lynn Watson's debut novel follows thirty-something Veronica as she jolts between five-star hotels in New Orleans, New York, and the North Carolina coast. Veronica's business keeps her on the move, and further strains her relationships with the already unsuitable men she's met along the way, not to mention her blink-and-you-miss-him husband. A River So Long, like Veronica's life, is a fragmented conflation of time, place, and people-she's a gypsy, and the world she inhabits is, if not blurry, at least kaleidoscopic. This remarkable novel reads like Jean Rhys run over by the twenty-first century-a rushing, threatening, constantly changing scene with a tumultuous, multiplying cast
Get A River So Long through Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

My Review:
This was not only about travel, but it was also about a woman's life. A woman that has to deal with so much. Her husband is all over the place as are the chapters in this book. They go around time, places and eventually people. This is a book that is short and has to be read at a slow pace to keep up with the characters. It is worth the read! I am giving this book a 3/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
