NOMINERAD TILL ÅRETS BOK 2022

En historisk bladvändare om kärlek och hat med starka kopplingar till vår egen tid

Efter att de vita sydstatsbönderna tvingats frige sina slavar söker de föräldralösa bröderna Prentiss och Landry sin tillflykt på George och Isabelle Walkers gård. I sorgen över att ha förlorat sin ende son i kriget tar paret Walker sig an dem på ett sätt som får resten av bönderna i Old Ox att rasa av ilska.

Liksom Den underjordiska järnvägen är Vattnets sötma ett både storslaget och spännande epos som berättar om kärlek och medmänsklighet under de mest skrämmande omständigheter. Samtidigt som bröderna försöker skapa sig ett nytt liv i kölvattnet av slaveriets trauman uppdagas en historia om förbjuden kärlek mellan två soldater som nyligen återvänt hem. När deras hemlighet upptäcks leder katastrofen till mer än bara ett mord, och till att Isabelle kliver fram som en ledare för alla de frigivna men hemlösa medborgarna i Old Ox.

VATTNETS SÖTMA har vunnit Earnest J. Gaines Medal for Excellence in Fiction och Willie Morris Award for Southern Fiction. Den har även varit nominerad till 2021 års Booker Prize, Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction, Center for Fiction's First Novel Prize, samt i dubbla kategorier till både Goodreads Choice Award och Audie Awards. Dessutom har den varit New York Times-bästsäljare, Oprah's Book Club Pick och på Barack Obamas lista över rekommenderad sommarläsning. Just nu tävlar den om det brittiska Dylan Thomas-priset och Årets bok i Sverige.

Ett givet val för alla som tyckte om Colson Whiteheads Den underjordiska järnvägen. Damernas Värld

Lotta Olsson tipsar: Det handlar om rasism och andra former av utanförskap: fattigdom, homosexualitet, att vara kvinna eller att bara sakna den där förmågan att slå sig fram. Motsättningarna är obehagligt bekanta. Dagens Nyheter

En bladvändare, full av smått oförglömliga romanfigurer, och liksom alla bra historiska romaner säger den också något om vår egen tid. Bibliotekstjänst

En omedelbar klassiker. Wall Street Journal

Storslagen och intim på ett sätt som gör romanen både personlig och politisk. The Guardian

En vacker, mogen och hjärtskärande roman. Bookreporter

Fängslande och dramatisk ... lämnar ett bestående och mångfacetterat intryck. NRP

This 2001 book is a follow-on to John Braithwaite's best-selling and influential Crime, Shame and Reintegration. Shame management is becoming a central concept, in theoretical and practical terms. This book makes a major contribution to the advancement of shame in a theoretical sense. For criminology, as well as for psychology, sociology and other areas, this accessible book serves as an introduction to the concepts of shame, guilt and embarrassment. Presenting research by the Restorative Justice Centre at the Australian National University, the book contributes immeasurably to the development of practical alternatives to common sanctions in an effort to reduce crime and other social problems. Written by the key exponents of restorative justice, the book is an important re-statement of the theory and practice of shaming. It will develop important and often controversial debates about punishment, shaming and restorative justice to a new level.
