Overview

Winner of the Leapfrog Global Fiction Prize

"Lost River has the feel of an instant classic.” Anthony McGowan, Carnegie Medal Winner.

Lost River is the story of the Van Beest family, which inherits a house at the edge of a magical forest where the dead return from the afterlife. When 10-year-old Anne’s mother, a midwife, delivers a stillborn baby and her father, a mortician, accidentally brings that infant back to life, the Van Beests find themselves at the center of a drama that raises questions about the relationship between the living and the dead.
