The Land of Many Rivers

Robert Frische

A modern tale set in a primeval world. A European business man tries to remake himself in the South American jungle by smuggling diamonds.


Charlie Fisher, an unsuccessful importer of fruits and vegetables, goes to Guyana in the late seventies to lie low for a while after the breakup of his marriage.
There, in the remote interior of the country, he meets some shady characters and sees one last chance to get his life back on track.

But terrible things are happening in Guyana, events which will change the history of the country forever. Charlie is faced with difficult choices if he is to get out alive, not least who to trust.

Set in a relatively unknown region, The Land of Many Rivers deals with themes including broken families, the futility of materialism and the restorative powers of Mother Nature.
Robert Frische captures the essence of the Caribbean in this darkly comedic and intriguing adventure.

Hi David, This is exactly the sort of book I like to read - well written, clearly defined characters, wonderful language and a great plot. I think a lot of the best books from from true like experiences and the one you explain in the blurb is very funny (at least to the outsider). My only critici... view book

Hi Stephen, I enjoyed reading this - it's just my sort of book. What i would say is that if i could see into the future i would think of much better ways of getting rich than putting money on England winning the world cup! The naked embarassment scene at the end of the first chapter is a nice tou... view book

Jo, this first chapter is beautifully presented and written with grace and economy. In a short space of time you paint the frustrations of the various characters and a lack of trust which will surely lead into an intriguing plot. In terms of descirption you work on the 'less is more' basis which piq... view book

Hello Romilla, I think this is quite brilliant. The writing obviously comes from a heartfelt place and the story is quirky enough to ring true. The scene with the earthworms is especially poignant and tragic. My only nitpick would be to watch or cadence - there are a few repetitions of words suc... view book
