The prizewinning debut from Britain's most exciting contemporary
novelist. In a remote dale in a northern English county, a
centuries-old rural community has survived into the mid-1930s
almost unchanged. But then Jack Liggett drives in from the city,
the spokesman for a Manchester waterworks company with designs on
the landscape for a vast new reservoir. The dale must be evacuated,
flooded, devastated; its water pumped to the Midlands and its
community left in ruins. Liggett further compounds the village's
problems when he begins a troubled affair with Janet Lightburn, a
local woman of force and character who is driven to desperate
measures in an attempt to save the valley. Told in luminous prose,
with an intuitive sense for period and place, Haweswater remembers
a rural England that has been lost for many decades.
