{"product_id":"graham-swift-waterland-9781471187322","title":"Waterland","description":"The Booker Shortlisted Modern Classic from the author of Last Orders, Mothering Sunday and Here We Are One summer morning in 1943, lock-keeper Henry Crick finds the drowned body of a sixteen-year-old boy. Nearly forty years later, his son Tom, a history teacher, is driven by a bizarre marital crisis and the provocation of one of his students to forsake the formal teaching of history—and tell stories . . . Waterland is a classic of modern fiction: a vision of England seen through its mysterious, amphibious Fen country; a sinuous meditation on the workings of time; a tale of two families, startling in its twists and turns and universal in its reach. Compulsively readable, it is a novel of resonant depth and encyclopaedic richness, mixing human and natural history and exploring the tragic forces that take us both forwards and back. It is also a book about beer, eels, the French Revolution, the end of the world, windmills, will-o’-the-wisps, murder, love, education, curiosity and—supremely—the malign and merciful element of water. ‘A quite brilliant novel’ Daily Telegraph ‘Inspired’ New York Times  ","brand":"Simon + Schuster UK","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53376607289686,"sku":"9781471187322-G","price":7.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53494295691606,"sku":"9781471187322-V","price":8.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781471187322_1_2c87fb90-a2ad-4dbf-a665-a28fa250a731.jpg?v=1778049061","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/graham-swift-waterland-9781471187322","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
