「一部令人震驚的初試啼聲之作，直擊險為人知的戰後惡果，透過一個虛構的美國南方小鎮裡的人物關係，探討跨越歷史意義的主題—關於種族、性、暴力和悲傷—留下難以置信的印象。」— 《布克獎委員會》
「以非凡的想像力，講述了兩個兄弟和喬治亞州農民之間微乎其微的聯繫。這將永遠改變他們的人生。」—《科克斯書評》
當歷史的書頁被翻開，其摩擦力之大，可點燃一個城鎮...
內戰即將結束的日子，在解放宣言下被釋放的兄弟，來到他人的農園尋求庇護。
身為農人的沃克一家，唯一的兒子在戰爭中喪生而備受打擊，他們僱傭兄弟倆到農場工作，希望透過轉移來平息悲痛。兄弟倆的記憶永遠不會消失，曾被鞭打、毀容的虐待、家庭分離、瀕臨飢餓、非人化的經歷，與此同時，兄弟倆仍計劃著前往北方，與他們失散多年的母親團聚。
「希望」是《水之甘甜》（暫譯）的動力。以一種人性化和親密的方式，訴說一個關於戰後南方複雜的故事，探討喬治亞州的各種人際關係。即使重點是希望和意外的親情，卻也無法減少奴隸制的恐怖，或隨之而來的鬥爭。
Nathan Harris透過人性化的故事，讓仍然充滿爭議的時代變得可以理解。
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER / AN OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK
PRESIDENT OBAMA’S SUMMER 2021 READING LIST
Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize
In the spirit of The Known World and The Underground Railroad, “a miraculous debut” (Washington Post) and “a towering achievement of imagination” (CBS This Morning)about the unlikely bond between two freedmen who are brothers and the Georgia farmer whose alliance will alter their lives, and his, forever—from “a storyteller with bountiful insight and assurance” (Kirkus)
A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice
A July Indie Next Pick
In the waning days of the Civil War, brothers Prentiss and Landry—freed by the Emancipation Proclamation—seek refuge on the homestead of George Walker and his wife, Isabelle. The Walkers, wracked by the loss of their only son to the war, hire the brothers to work their farm, hoping through an unexpected friendship to stanch their grief. Prentiss and Landry, meanwhile, plan to save money for the journey north and a chance to reunite with their mother, who was sold away when they were boys.
Parallel to their story runs a forbidden romance between two Confederate soldiers. The young men, recently returned from the war to the town of Old Ox, hold their trysts in the woods. But when their secret is discovered, the resulting chaos, including a murder, unleashes convulsive repercussions on the entire community. In the aftermath of so much turmoil, it is Isabelle who emerges as an unlikely leader, proffering a healing vision for the land and for the newly free citizens of Old Ox.
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.
