Event Details

With candor and sympathy, debut novelist Nathan Harris creates an unforgettable cast of characters, depicting Georgia in the violent crucible of Reconstruction. Equal parts beauty and terror, as gripping as it is moving, The Sweetness of Water is an epic whose grandeur locates humanity and love amid the most harrowing circumstances.

We will be meeting at Franco Martini Bar & Restaurant (formerly Fire & Oak), 2025 Albany Post Road, Croton on Hudson.
