Diane Setterfield’s new mystery, Once Upon a River, will be available in the US on 1st January 2019 and in the UK on 24th January 2019.


At the time of writing the book is also set to be published in Spain, Germany, France, Italy, Russia, Norway, Romania (all 2019) and China (Spring 2020).  Further details will be posted as they come!



A dark midwinter’s night in an ancient inn on the Thames.


The regulars are entertaining themselves by telling stories when the door bursts open on an injured stranger.


In his arms is the drowned corpse of a little child.


Hours later the dead girl stirs.


Is it a miracle?


Is it magic?


Or can it be explained by science?


Replete with folklore, suspense and romance, as well as with the urgent scientific curiosity of the Darwinian age, Once Upon a River is as richly atmospheric as Setterfield’s bestseller The Thirteenth Tale.


The post Once Upon a River appeared first on Diane Setterfield.
