The Water Dancer (Oprah’s Book Club)

The Water Dancer (Oprah’s Book Club) is most popular in the United States. This is likely due to the fact that the book is set in the United States and deals with themes of slavery and race that are relevant to American culture and history.

The Water Dancer is about a young man named Hiram Walker, who was born into slavery but manages to escape to freedom. The story follows Hiram as he makes his way north, eventually ending up in Philadelphia, where he becomes involved in the Underground Railroad. Along the way, Hiram discovers that he has a special ability – he can “water walk”, which allows him to travel great distances in a short amount of time. This ability comes in handy as Hiram helps others escape from slavery and eventually finds himself in the middle of the Civil War.
