I am a super excited for Wally Lamb's October 22nd release, We Are Water! I LOVED She's Come Undone and I Know this Much is True and have heard nothing but good things about his newest book. If you have never read Wally Lamb, run, don't walk, to your nearest bookstore or library or grab your Kindle and start downloading ASAP! You won't be disappointed!
After 27 years of marriage and three children, Anna Oh—wife, mother,
outsider artist—has fallen in love with Viveca, the wealthy Manhattan
art dealer who orchestrated her success. They plan to wed in the Oh
family’s hometown of Three Rivers in Connecticut. But the wedding
provokes some very mixed reactions and opens a Pandora’s Box of toxic
secrets—dark and painful truths that have festered below the surface of
the Ohs’ lives.
We Are Water is a layered portrait of marriage, family, and the inexorable need for understanding and connection, told in the alternating voices of the Ohs—nonconformist, Anna; her ex-husband, Orion, a psychologist; Ariane, the do-gooder daughter, and her twin, Andrew, the rebellious only son; and free-spirited Marissa, the youngest. It is also a portrait of modern America, exploring issues of class, changing social mores, the legacy of racial violence, and the nature of creativity and art
