A strange world divided by a river with a black current running down the middle that drives men mad, leaving women to ply trade on their boats up and down, on one side, though not the mysterious other.
Carino, storia fantasy più che sf, originale, avvincente e ben sviluppata: non solo una protagonista interessante e ben caratterizzata e che andrà in conto a molte avventure ma anche un gran lavoro di "creazione culturale", ovvero Watson si inventa una complessa (e credibile) rappresentazione di un intera cultura, un intero popolo che vive sulle rive di questo grande fiume.
