Beschrijving
Set in America’s prohibition era, The Sound of Many Waters tracks a young lawyer striving for superficial success who accepts a promising job, but soon discovers things are not as they seem. The calculated uncovering of criminality and sadism forces him into service under vampiric bootleggers. The novel begins in the first-person, with the lawyer addressing his future wife. When she feels something is off, she follows him to the small town of Paradiso, California, but not before she meets an aspiring journalist with a troubled past of her own, explored through several first-person points of view. These timelines interweave to examine topics of race, faith, and independence through horrifying experiences of abuse, vampirism, arson, and even parricide within a transcontinental journey of profound character development.
