The writing in Once Upon a River by Diane Setterfield creates a vivid visual. The book creates a sense of something coming - an impending revelation or climax. However, for me that never happens. The pacing of the book is very slow, particularly since it does not build to a dramatic conclusion. The book seems to slowly wander and meander through the story as the river does through the countryside.
