Sinopsis

"Mother!" exclaimed Mr. Smithers, as he came into the parlor about supper time one winter evening, "that boy's a fool."
Mrs. Smithers, who was a quiet-looking, blond little woman, about thirty-five years of age, looked up from a book she was reading, and regarded her husband with a weary air.
"What boy?" she asked, languidly.
"As if you didn't know?" replied Mr. Smithers.
"We have two," she said, calmly.
"Oh, that boy, Tommy."
"What has he done now?"
"Done! why he is always doing something absurd. I told him this morning, before I went out, to cut up all the wood in the yard."

    A small farming village in North Sudan wakes up one morning to the news that a little boy has drowned. Soon after, the animals die of a mysterious illness and the date gardens catch fire and burn to the ground. The villagers whisper of a sorceress who dwells at the foot of the mountains. It is the dry season. The men have places to go, the women have work to do, the children play at the place where the river runs over its own banks. Sixteen-year-old Fatima yearns to leave the village for Khartoum.
    
    In Khartoum, a single mother makes her way in a world that wants to keep girls and women back. As civil war swells, the political intrudes into the personal and her position in the capital becomes untenable. She must return to the village.
    
    A Mouth Full of Salt uncovers a country on the brink of seismic change as its women decide for themselves which traditions are fit for purpose – and which prophecies it's time to rewrite.

    Emery: I walked away from Quinn three years ago. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I had my reasons, and I thought it was best to let him go. I am too much. But even knowing that, I still crave him. I still miss him. I need him. I love him. 
     
     
     
    But while I've been building an empire he's supposed to be a part of—and pining after him—he's off getting engaged. To someone who isn't me. He thinks I'm going to allow him to marry someone else? Not a chance. 
     
     
     
    Quinn: Emery has been causing me trouble since we were toddlers. She is loud, assertive, and maybe even an evil genius, but my love for her knows no bounds. She walked away from me, left me behind for a new life, and I had no choice but to watch. I put myself out there for her to take me as her own, but she wouldn't. So, I moved on. I got engaged. 
     
     
     
    And now, Emery is back. It's not a big deal. I won't fall back into my old ways of needing her. I won't let her close enough to see the secrets I've been hiding. I'll keep her at arm's length. I've got this. 
     
     
     
    Or so I think. Because, in true Emery fashion, she barrels into my life. I thought I had a handle on her. But honestly, when have I ever been able to handle Emery Brooks?

    In my line of work my phone is ringing constantly. It's my most important business tool, and so I don't spend much thought about when or where to answer it - it's a natural reflex. So when one day, I was out early to prepare a house for a potentially interested couple, I got a call from an undisclosed number, I wasn't very surprised by it; it happens all the time. 
    "Hi," said a female voice on the other end of the line. "So, where were we?" 
    "Hi," I replied, pausing for a moment to think who it might be that called. Did I forget an appointment? Was there a conversation that got interrupted? 
    Before I could say anything else, the voice continued: "Ah right. You were going to tell me how wet you are."
