REVIEW: The River Has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar 🎶 "a whimsical little tale of sisterhood and queer love that will sing to your soul and drown you in a whirlpool of magic, whimsy, wonder, and emotion." BeforeWeGoBlog 💜 beforewegoblog.com/review-the-riv…

We're delighted to share an audio excerpt from Amal El-Mohtar's new book The River Has Roots! A dreamy new fantasy novel featuring two sisters on the edge of Faerie, the audiobook includes music performed by the author and her sister! reactormag.com/excerpts-the-r…

A friend convinced me to “browse” a bookstore. So glad I did. Bought and read Amal El-Mohtar’s #TheRiverHasRoots today - and what a wonderful piece of speculative fantasy. The prose is whimsical, sharp, with passages just begging to be read aloud. Loved it. #booktwt


"At the time of our story..." Check out this audio excerpt of The River Has Roots from our friends at Macmillan Audio, read by Gem Carmella 🏳️🌈!💐 (And did you know that the author, Amal El-Mohtar, her sister, & the narrator recorded music for the audiobook?👀)


We're so pleased to share that Amal El-Mohtar is coming to the UK! We've got four wonderful events lined up across the country, get your tickets here: geni.us/RiverUKEvents Amal El-Mohtar #TheRiverHasRoots #ThisIsHowYouLoseTheTimeWar




We're celebrating Siblings Day with Esther & Ysabel from The River Has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar! 💐 Two sisters in the town of Thistleford who cannot be separated, even in death.


THE RIVER HAS ROOTS by Amal El-Mohtar resists attempts to make it last, carries you along like a river to the edge of Arcadia & back. Few books use a short length so beautifully, emphasizing what is ephemeral & what's eternal about a story, what's real about places unreal.

Full house tonight for Amal El-Mohtar talking fairytales, folklore, & family in her new book The River Has Roots! 🧚🏻♂️ Check out our upcoming events here - waterstones.com/events/search/…
