Nathan Harris' debut novel The Sweetness of Water follows two freedmen seeking refuge on a Georgia farm after the Civil War. The book was longlisted for the Booker Prize, the Carnegie Medal, and the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize. Not bad for a first shot! Originally from Oregon, Harris was a Michener Fellow at the University of Texas before publishing the earth-shaking historical novel that landed on Barack Obama's summer 2021 reading list.
