We Are Water is a disquieting and ultimately
uplifting novel about a marriage, a family, and human
resilience in the face of tragedy, from Wally Lamb, the
New York Times bestselling author of The Hour I
First Believed and I Know This Much Is
True.
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.
With humor and compassion, Wally Lamb brilliantly
captures the essence of human experience and the ways in
which we search for love and meaning in our lives.
