The Sweetness of Water by Nathan Harris
3.0
reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

A very readable, if conventional choice for the Booker. The characters were clear and defined, but a little stereotypical. I liked the omniscient third person but I would have liked more from the brothers Landry and Prentiss and less of George. The climax seemed to come a little too early--there wasn't quite enough building of tension and the ending dragged.
