One of the most beautiful explorations of male friendship I’ve read, The River centres around Wynn and Jack as they paddle their canoe across Canadian rapids, during an ‘off grid’ holiday of a lifetime. The two men hear a couple embroiled in an argument, somewhere within the forest bordering the river. Soon afterwards, they see smoke and they realise a fire has broken out and is heading towards them. Wynn and Jack turn back to warn the couple they heard, but find only a man, who claims to have lost his wife in the forest. Wynn’s and Jack’s adventure quickly turns into a race for survival, where nothing is as it seems. Part thriller, part literary novel, Heller writes with emotion and depth, and I couldn’t put this down.
