[CLOSED] Win a copy of The River and the Book, by Alison Croggon

Win a copy of The River and the Book, by Alison Croggon - Combining magical realism and fable, this lyrical tale is the story of a landscape and community destroyed by Western greediness. In our village we had two treasures: the River, which was our road and our god; and the Book, which was our history, our oracle and our soul. Simbala is a Keeper of the Book, the latest in a long line of women who can read the Book to find answers to the villagers’ questions. As developers begin to poison the river on which the villagers rely, the Book predicts change. But this does not come in the form that they expect; it is the sympathetic Westerner who comes to the village who inflicts the greatest damage of all.
