Zusammenfassung:"Young Hiram Walker was born into bondage. When his mother was sold away, Hiram lost all memory of her - but was gifted with a mysterious power. Years later, when Hiram almost drowns in a river, that same power saves his life. His near death begins a daring journey of escape that takes him from the corrupt grandeur of Virginia's proud plantations to desperate guerrilla cells in the wilderness, from the coffin of the Deep South to daring utopian movements in the North. Even as he's enlisted in the underground war between slavers and the enslaved, Hiram's resolve to reunite with the only family he's ever known burns within him. Written by one of today's most exciting thinkers and writers, The Water Dancer is a propulsive, transcendet work that restores the humanity of those from whom everything was stolen."
