We Are Water by Wally Lamb Book Summary

“A mesmerizing novel about a family in crisis.”— Miami Herald

A disquieting and ultimately uplifting novel about a marriage, a family, and human resilience in the face of tragedy, from Wally Lamb, the New York Times bestselling author of The Hour I First Believed and I Know This Much Is True.

After 27 years of marriage and three children, Anna Oh—wife, mother, outsider artist—has fallen in love with Viveca, the wealthy Manhattan art dealer who orchestrated her success. They plan to wed in the Oh family’s hometown of Three Rivers in Connecticut. But the wedding provokes some very mixed reactions and opens a Pandora’s Box of toxic secrets—dark and painful truths that have festered below the surface of the Ohs’ lives.

We Are Water is a layered portrait of marriage, family, and the inexorable need for understanding and connection, told in the alternating voices of the Ohs—nonconformist, Anna; her ex-husband, Orion, a psychologist; Ariane, the do-gooder daughter, and her twin, Andrew, the rebellious only son; and free-spirited Marissa, the youngest. 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 humor and compassion, Wally Lamb brilliantly captures the essence of human experience and the ways in which we search for love and meaning in our lives.

Most excellent. A typical Wally lamb book indeed. Excellent lessons to be learned through rich character development and a fantastic story.

Stereotypes. This book has just about every stereotype included in it. Started off ok, but couldn't finish it due to all the melodramatics and judgements being shoved down my throat.

Wally Lamb never disappoints.. I couldn't figure out where the story was going in the first couple chapters, but in Wally Lamb fashion, everything came together to form a deep and somewhat disturbing, unforgettable novel.

A bit disappointing. I've been quick to read everything lamb writes and usually am engrossed in the characters. This book just didn't make me want to care about any of the characters. There was something about this book that was disappointing. I felt as if it were somehow disjointed and for the first time I was looking forward to the end of one of Lambs novels.

Not worth the investment. I kept waiting for the story to become interesting but it never did. The ending was highly disappointing.

We are water. Loved every minute of this dysfunctional family! Did not want to put it down.

A Great Read. What an amazing text! I spent two days devouring the last 200 pages. It's a novel that you cannot put down. Wally Lamb does a great job with plot and character development. He continues to reel you in and at the end.....you wish for just one more chapter.

Love this book. Love the details of the story, the relationship between husband and wife, parents and child moved me.

We Are Now Depressed. This is not your typical Wally Lamb. His writing style is usually very appealing as he develops his characters and tells a great story. This is such an overall depressing book, can't imagine why he's gone so dark.

We are Water by Wally Lamb. I absolutely adore this man's work. He never disappoints. I find myself reading his work more slowly than usual because I never want the book to end.

Sample is no good. The description sounded like a good read but unsure so I tried the sample - problem is now the sample dumps you in the middle of the book. Chapter 10! What the heck? And who is Ruth Fletcher?? Too bad because this is probably a reflection of Apple and not the author. Readers beware.

We Are Water, by Wally Lamb. Secrets and horrendous events occur within this seemingly normal family. This is so well-written, that it was hard to put down. The number of awful events was a bit difficult, but overall, a great read.

Sample started on chapter 10!!!!!. This is the first time ever I have downloaded a sample, and it starts in the middle of the book!! I will not buy a book, unless I read it from the beginning and decide if I want to read the whole thing. Just like if I picked it up in a bookstore and read the first chapter and decided to buy it. I guess I will not be buying this from apple........way to go. Nice decision....not!!

WE ARE WATER. We Are Water explores guilt and responsibility, and family relationships in all their humanity. Although this book takes a while to sink its teeth into you, once it does there is no letting go. Though some of the events eventually seem overly dramatic and unrealistic for one family to have weathered, suspending reality is no problem. The story is compelling, meaningful and intense. Thanks Mr. Lamb

Not his best.... I was so looking forward to this book. The story kept promising some great payoff that it never really delivers. Goes off on various roads that you think may lead to something but never does. It is not another This Much I Know Is True. Having said that, it is read able and you could do alot worse.

disturbing. I loved the story but had such a hard time with the horrific acts committed on a child by one of the characters. The details Lamb gives, chapters long, reminded me of news articles where there is a warning to the reader advising of graphic contents. So terribly and horribly disturbing and just unnecessary.
