English Summary/英文概要： Harper wakes every night, terrified of the sounds outside his hut halfway up a mountain in Bali. He is afraid that his past as a mercenary has caught up with him – and believes his life may now been in danger. As he waits to discover his fate, he meets Rita, a woman with her own past tragedy, and begins a passionate affair. Their relationship makes Harper realise that exile comes in many forms – but can Rita and Harper save each other
while they are putting each other very much at risk? Moving between Indonesia, the Netherlands and California, from the 1960s to the 1990s, Black Water turns around the 1965 Indonesian massacres, one of the great untold tragedies of the twentieth century.

Awards/获奖情况：深思熟虑的故事，吸引人，而且感人的小说，探讨了人种和道德。（Express）
在本书中，Doughty使用了常见于恐怖小说的比喻和节奏，让那些在亚洲和世界其他地区有关人种、悲伤、家庭、共产主义、历史事件、社会阶层等等问题上的分歧得以交织在一起。这是很大的成就，也能让Doughty的很多粉丝非常兴奋，一定还能为她带来很多新的读者。（Simon Savidge Dead Good Books）
Doughty以前的心理恐怖小说就已经很成功了，但这本严肃的小说是一个全新的出发点。这本小说让她有了和le Carre这样的大家比肩的机会。（《每日邮报》）
本书再现了John le Carre级别的能力，将真实的道德复杂性和小说情节的紧张紧凑相结合。（《读者文摘》）
A thoughtful, gripping and impressive novel about race and morality (Express)
With Black Water Doughty uses the tropes and pace of a thriller to look intricately at race, grief, what makes a family a family, communism, historical events and the disparity of social classes as well as those between Asia and the rest of the world. That is quite something and sure to please Doughty’s many existing fans while bringing her many new readers too. (Simon Savidge Dead Good Books)
This serious novel marks a departure for Doughty, whose psychological thrillers ... have been so successful. This one strays more into le Carre territory - where she seems equally at home (Daily Mail)
Pulls off the John le Carre trick of combining real moral complexity with page-turning excitement (Reader’s Digest)
It is absolutely gripping and a thriller, definitely, but also a meditation on guilt and responsibility. (The Bookseller, Editor’s Choice)
Such an engrossing read, I finished it much too fast because I could not put it down. It made me think, it made me cry and it made me want to root for Harper and yet hate what he did. That’s a real feat. (Gillian Slovo)
A brilliant piece of storytelling. Atmospheric, dark, tense, and beautifully put together. (Helen Dunmore)
Completely gripping. (Melissa Benn)
I was absolutely gripped, moved, provoked to new thoughts, informed - and filled with admiration. (Sadie Jones)
The follow-up to the massive-selling Apple Tree Yard, Black Water is that rare thing - a literary thriller. It has a cracking story that’s masterfully told, but is also beautifully written with original ideas and thoughts. (Winq Magazine)
