Paperback. Zustand: Good. Graham Swift's extraordinary masterpiece--a finalist for the Booker Prize--WATERLAND weaves together eels and incest, ale-making and madness, the heartless sweep of history and a family romance as tormented as Greek tragedy into one epic story. In the flat, watery Fen Country of East Anglia, a passionate history teacher named Tom Crick is being forced into early retirement from the school where he has taught for thirty years. When a student rebelliously questions the value of the subject to which Tom has devoted his life, Tom responds with his own personal retrospective. His story--intertwined with the stories of the local wetlands, the French Revolution, and World War I, among other things--throws light onto the dark circumstances of the current day, revealing how his wife's tragic youth led to the events surrounding his forced retirement. A monumental tribute to the past, a gripping multigenerational family saga, and a powerful affirmation of the history of self, this exceptional novel illuminates the cycles of time in which we live.
