kjkbooks 's review for:
The Sweetness of Water
by Nathan Harris
Thoughts:
A really important book to read. Prentiss and Landry were written in such a way that we as readers can’t help but feel for everything they’ve been through and hope for the future (despite knowing what is likely ahead due to knowledge of history). I also really liked the character of George as he was able to support and mostly protect Prentiss and Landry without seeming to have a hero complex and whilst genuinely appreciating their work.
Favourite Quote:
"...perhaps that was the great ill of the world, that those prone to evil were left untouched by guilt to a degree so vast that they might sleep through a storm, while better men, conscience-stained men, lay awake as though that very storm persisted unyieldingly in the furthest reaches of their soul."
