This is the second novel that I read by this author. Unfortunately, I just could not connect with the characters. The writing style was just not my taste. But, I have seen other readers did enjoy this book.

One More River opens in Vietnam. Little Mo, father, Bernard has died years ago. He is engaged to a prominent Jewish girl. The family, doesn't like his familial background. So, he decides he is going to track down and investigate who he's father is. It is a journey that he makes back in history, in the old south, to find his history. This is a journey he takes with a friend of his father a black man, right after the civil war.

Steam ships, and New Orleans. I did like the discriptive history in this part of the novel. This is one novel, I did not finish, I could not take it, enough is enough, I gave it 125 pages, and beating my self up because I wanted to like this novel. Since the author is a local Jewish author near Charleston. But, sorry to say I did not care for her writing.
