We Are Water by Wally Lamb
Fiction
Annie Oh, an artist and mother, has divorced her husband and fallen in love with Viveca, an art dealer. Annie and Viveca plan to wed in the Oh family's hometown of Three Rivers, Connecticut, where gay marriage has recently been legalized. The upcoming wedding not only reveals dark family secrets, but also different reactions from each of the immediate family members, Orion, Annie’s ex-husband, Ariane and Andrew, their twins and Ariane the youngest child. This book is not only about marriage and the importance of family but also about class, race, art, and changing social mores. It is funny, uplifting and very human. The audiobook is wonderfully narrated by a variety of voices including George Guidall, Edoardo Bellerini, Therese Plummer, Maggi-Meg Reed and Wally Lamb.
