Freshly Read Books | The Sweetness of Water | Book Review | Booker 2021 Longlist @FreshlyReadBooks | Uploaded October 2021 | Updated October 2024, 52 minutes ago.
It's time to review the 8th book on the Booker Longlist! Apologies for how long this one took to get out. I actually filmed it about a month ago now, so you can watch me not know but basically know that this wasn't on the shortlist.
