An epic love story set in California during one of the darkest episodes of World War II. Rocky Rhodes has spent years protecting his California ranch tooth and nail from the Los Angeles Water Department that is draining its aquifers. It's on that Owens Valley ranch where he and his wife raised their twin children, Sunny and Stryker, and where Rocky has mourned his wife since her death. When the United States enters the Second World War, the government decides to build one of the internment camps in the valley in which it will confine the more than one hundred thousand citizens of Japanese origin who live in the states of the Pacific coast. The camp director, a Jewish boy from Chicago, will be fascinated by the Rhodes family, especially by the young Sunny. The Properties of Thirst is an unforgettable novel about one of the darkest episodes of the American past, but it is also a love story: that of a family for a threatened landscape and that of a man for an amazing woman. A universal and intimate story, whose echoes resonate especially today, about the celebration of loving and family bonds that survive despite difficulties. Without a doubt, one of the great American novels of recent years.
