description: An English schoolteacher and his inner memories combine with the bleak Fenland landscape to produce a multiplicity of stories. Graham Swift weaves together tales of empire building, land reclamation, brewers and lock-keepers to construct a chronicle that spans three centuries. Waterland is simultaneously a family saga, a social history and a story of adolescent love.
