If you enjoyed THE DINNER, you will likely love TWISTED RIVER. TWISTED RIVER has a similar tense feel, and also deals with the lies that families tell – both internally and to the world. This tightly-written family drama reminded me a lot of THE DINNER by Herman Koch, in that the central mystery revolves around the troubles of a particular set of relationships. TWISTED RIVER is the debut novel from Siobhán MacDonald, and this little book is well worth the read. Neither family will come out of this vacation the same. Instead, the holiday exposes deadly and dangerous secrets. Both families hope that the vacations will serve to repair their relationships. Two families who each have their own domestic issues participate in a house swap – from a luxury home in Manhattan to a house in Limerick, Ireland. Quick Review: An excellent debut novel, with an intense and intimate narrative. Read this book for: suspenseful thriller, an intimate look at the tensions in domestic life, small-scale and realistic life portrait
