"Magically wrought.... The Stream is a parable for our times; it's also screndipity and a delight."
The most thought-provoking novel since 'Silent Spring'.
The author and critic Lynne Reid Banks has said of 'The Stream': "This book strikes a blow for the natural world comparable to Rachel Carson's a generation ago. It is a second 'Silent Spring'. It is a marvellous, timely and beautiful novel, irresistible from the first page."
