Waterland

An English schoolteacher combines his interior world of memories with the exterior world of the bleak Fenland landscape to produce a multiplicity of stories, tales of empire building, land reclamation, brewers and lockkeepers to construct a chronicle that spans three centuries. It is simultaneously a family saga, a novel of provincial life, a social history and a story of adolescent love.
