"The Day the Falls Stood Still" by Cathy Buchanan

I picked up this novel from a bargain rack at one of the bookstores. The title caught my attention and the book cover said it was about Niagara Falls. So I decided to get it. And what a find this turned out to be! This is not the type of book you read in one sitting. This is the kind you savor bit by bit, and then keep thinking about it long after you turn the last page. It has everything: a gorgeous setting - think turn of the century Canadian town whose life centers around the Falls; a love story; a war; and a supernatural family legend. Buchanan is a great story-teller and I truly enjoyed reading this book.
