The Sweetness of Water by Nathan Harris -
 
"The Sweetness of Water" by Nathan Harris explores the aftermath of the Civil War in a small Georgia town, delving into themes of love, family, race, and sexuality. 

The novel follows two brothers, Prentiss and Landry, who were recently freed from slavery and their paths intersect with a white family who must also come to terms with their own prejudices. 

Additionally, the story features a gay subplot involving a romantic relationship between two male characters. Through lush storytelling, Harris paints a vivid picture of post-war Southern life and the complexities of human relationships.
