Read With Us: The Sweetness of Water

Apple Books and Oprah’s Book Club present Read With Us: The Sweetness of Water, An Oprah’s Book Club Discussion Guide.



Oprah selected Nathan Harris’ stunning debut novel, set at the end of the Civil War, after the Emancipation Proclamation, because it explores "a time in our history that few fiction writers have tried to piece together.” This Oprah’s Book Club Discussion Guide includes an exclusive essay by the author on his life story and how that fed into the story, along with an excerpt of the Equal Justice Initiative’s eye-opening report on the history of Reconstruction in America. You’ll also find insightful discussion questions, a gorgeous illustrated map and character guide, and great recommendations for what to read next.
