"" 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.  aENH 0aHistory teachersxFiction. 0aMentally ill womenxFiction. 0aAutobiographical memoryxFiction. 0aMarried peoplexFiction. 0aEnglish literature 0aFens, The (England)xFiction. 7aPsychological fiction.2lcsh  aAyesha Abed LibrarycGeneral Stacks
