The Sweetness of Water, by Nathan Harris is an instant New York Times bestseller, an Oprah’s Book Club Pick, it’s on President Obama’s Summer 2021 Reading List, and it’s been long-listed for the Man Booker Prize. 

With candor and sympathy, debut novelist Nathan Harris creates an unforgettable cast of characters, depicting Georgia in the violent crucible of Reconstruction. Equal parts beauty and terror, as gripping as it is moving, The Sweetness of Water is an epic whose grandeur locates humanity and love amid the most harrowing circumstances.
