The Sweetness of Water

Bag om The Sweetness of Water

Longlisted for the 2021 Booker Prize and shortlisted for the 2022 Dylan Thomas Prize! A New York Times bestseller, an Oprah Book Club Pick and a Barack Obama 2021 Selection. Landry and Prentiss are two brothers born into slavery, finally freed as the American Civil War draws to its bitter close. Cast into the world without a penny to their names, their only hope is to find work in a society that still views them with nothing but intolerance. Farmer George Walker and his wife Isabelle are reeling from a loss that has shaken them to their core. After a chance encounter, they agree to employ the brothers on their land, and slowly the tentative bonds of trust begin to blossom between the strangers. But this sanctuary survives on a knife's edge, and it isn't long before a tragedy causes the inhabitants of the nearby town to turn their suspicion onto these new friendships, with devastating consequences ... If you loved THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD or WASHINGTON BLACK, or Sebastian Barry’s fiction, you’ll adore this.
