The Sweetness of Water
by Nathan Harris
This is a rare book for me, much like Where the Crawdads Sing, that lives up to the hype surrounding it. And it taught me yet another lesson about jumping to conclusions about how a story will unfold based upon the type of story it seems to be at the beginning. I love when an author can surprise me, especially in character choices and development.
We all know that people are complex. And that antiheroes have become the order of the day. But I love when an author boldly starts from a foundation that people are full of goodness and good intentions and is then willing to explore the darker ways in which hatred, fear, and loneliness can lead to bad choices and devastating outcomes.
