Description

Set against the backdrop of some of the darkest events of recent world history, Black Water is an epic novel that explores the complexities of human relationships and the moral ambiguities of war.

The story follows a troubled man as he navigates his past and present, entwining his life with that of a woman with her own troubled history. As they begin an affair, he must confront the risks to those around him and grapple with the consequences of his actions.

With fierce intelligence and a nuanced sense of moral ambiguity, Louise Doughty weaves together multiple storylines set against the turbulent backdrop of Europe during the Cold War, California, and Indonesia. This is a powerful exploration of human experience that will resonate long after the final page has been turned.
