Love Ella‘s version. Walk the bridge over the Farmington River several times a week.

A bit on the nose, I know. Though it's described as just a pool- maybe she would have had to shed a few more, or have grown even larger to deliver a river? 😧🏊

Two rivers and two river books that may induce crying for the #CryMeARiver prompt. The tagged book is a beautifully written novella set along the banks of the Rio Grande. The second is on my #TBR & is set on the Shenandoah River & seems like a bit of a tearjerker. 😭📚
The sweetest good-sad story

No tear that I can recall, but a river does run through New Orleans, Louisiana.
“Grief reunites you with what you've lost. It's a merging; you go with the loved thing or person. You follow it a far as you can go. But finally, the grief goes away and you phase back into the world. you don't ever completely come back from where you went - a fragment broken off your pulsing, pumping heart is there still. A cut that never heals.”

*I think Conrad‘s book was where I first gleaned the trope of river as life. To quote Conrad: “[T]he last pages of ‘Heart of Darkness‘ where the interview of the man and the girl locks in ... the whole 30000 words of narrative description into one suggestive view of a whole phase of life and makes of that story something quite on another plane than an anecdote of a man who went mad in the Centre of Africa.” ♥️
Sometimes a certain book comes into your head when you see a prompt and you‘re not exactly sure why. This is that book for me today.
A powerful epistolary novella, this is a letter written by Ramatoulaye to a friend after the demise of her marriage. She is coming to terms with her past, in a melancholy but hopeful way.

Very little crying, but lots and lots of river in this one. And a distinct lack of spring cleaning.
