Liz Moores Long Bright River is a riveting portrait of so many thingsof grief of sisterhood of a neighborhood in despair.
Believe me this book gets better. Shifting between the past and present the novel highlights the unbreakable bond between two sisters who together have been. Moore makes you care about the people that society too often abandons and in doing so pulls off a hat trick of epic storytelling that is stigma. This author teases readers with clues. As an adult Mickey watches as her sister destroys herself taking the same drugs that took their mothers life.
