Waterland

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.

Amplasat in sumbra Tara Fen din Anglia de Est si care acopera aproximativ 240 de ani in viata naratorului sau bantuit si a stramosilor sai, Waterland este o carte care cuprinde anghile si incestul, fabricarea berii si nebunia, maturarea fara inima a istoriei si un romantism de familie la fel de chinuit ca oricare din tragedia greaca.
