Though troubling in its subject matter, Buckman's perceptive yet restrained characterizations offer The Names of Rivers resonance and poignancy. Brutally precise yet compassionate descriptions help convey the helplessness and regret of this gallery of displaced, lonely characters, lending the book's hard lessons a sense of disquieting accuracy. A persistently sad novel, The Names of Rivers rewards readers with the kind of wisdom gained from such a painful journey. --Ross Doll
