"Buku ampuh tentang dosa paling tercela di Amerika ini menetapkan [Ta-Nehisi Coates] sebagai novelis kelas satu." —San Francisco Chronicle. "Hampir setiap paragraf dipenuhi dengan deskripsi padat yang menggugah tentang dunia yang lenyap dan tenggelam di dalamnya. memiliki kosakata yang jelas." —Entertainment Weekly Young Hiram Walker. Sinopsis Young Hiram Walker was born into bondage. When his mother was sold away, Hiram was robbed of all her memory—but was gifted with a mysterious power. Years later, when Hiram almost drowns in a river, that same power saves his life. This brush with death births an urgency in Hiram and a daring scheme: to escape from the only home he’s ever known. So begins an unexpected journey that takes Hiram from the corrupt grandeur of Virginia’s proud plantations to desperate guerrilla cells in the wilderness, from the coffin of the Deep South to dangerously ideological movements in the North. Even as he’s enlisted in the underground war between slavers and the enslaved, Hiram’s resolve to rescue the family he left behind endures. This is the dramatic story of an atrocity inflicted on generations of women, men, and children—the violent and capricious separation of families—and the war they waged to make lives with the people they loved. Written by one of today’s most exciting thinkers and writers, The Water Dancer is a propulsive, transcendent work that restores the humanity of those from whom everything was stolen.
