Graham Swift | Waterland
Copyright: © Graham Swift 1983
Set in the bleak Fen Country of East Anglia, and spanning some 240 years in the lives of its haunted narrator and his ancestors, Waterland is a book that takes in eels and incest, ale-making and madness, the heartless sweep of history and a family romance as tormented as any in Greek tragedy.
"Waterland, like the Hardy novels, carries with all else a profound knowledge of a people, a place, and their interweaving... Swift tells his tale with wonderful contemporary verve and verbal felicity... A fine and original work." - Los Angeles Times- Language: English
