Annie Oh - wife, mother and artist - has shaken her family to its core. After twenty-seven years of marriage and three children, Annie has fallen in love with Viveca, the sophisticated, seductive and wealthy art dealer who understands her work and has helped make her enormously successful. But their impending wedding opens a Pandora's box of dark and painful truths that has festered below the surface of the Ohs' lives.
We are Water is an intricate and layered portrait of marriage and family told in the alternating voices of the Ohs - nonconformist Annie; her ex-husband, Orion; Ariane, the do-gooder daughter, and her twin, Andrew, the rebellious only son; and free-spirited youngster, Marissa. 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 humour and compassion, Wally Lamb captures the essence of human experience in vivid and unforgettable characters struggling to find hope and redemption in the aftermath of trauma and loss.
