The village of Marsdale is a quiet corner of the world, cradled
in a remote dale in England's lovely Lake District. The rhythm of
life in the deeply religious, sheltered community has not changed
for centuries. But in 1936, when Waterworks representative Jack
Ligget from industrial Manchester arrives with plans to build a new
reservoir, he brings the much feared threat of impending change to
this bucolic hamlet. And when he begins an intense and troubled
affair with Janet Lightburn—a devout local woman of rare
passion and strength of spirit—it can only lead to
scandal, tragedy, and remarkable, desperate acts.
From Sarah Hall, the internationally acclaimed author of the Man
Booker Prize finalist The Electric Michelangelo, comes a stunning
and transcendent novel of love, obsession, and the passing of an
age.
