#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLEROPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK From the National Book Award–winning author of Between the World and Me, a boldly conjured debut novel about a magical gift, a devastating loss, and an underground war for freedom.Young Hiram Walker was born into bondage. When his mother was sold away, he was robbed of all memory of her—but was gifted with a mysterious power. Years later, when he 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, and from the coffin of the Deep South to dangerously idealistic 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 simply 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. READ MORE »Order The Water Dancer (Oprah’s Book Club)     SNEAK PEEK OF OPRAH’S INTERVIEW Ta-Nehisi Coates speaks to Oprah about what went into writing The Water Dancer.
