Black Water could be a good read for those interested in historical dark events and their effects on individuals. Louise Doughty's writing style draws on the reader's sense of moral conscience, as she portrays the struggle with past guilt and the ability to seek redemption. The moving of scenes between different times and locations adds to the depth of the story and helps the reader understand the protagonist's struggles.
