Waterland by Graham Swift
Tom Crick, a history teacher in the Fenlands, is driven by a marital crisis and the provocation of one of his pupils, to forsake his teaching and relate the story of his family who have lived in the Fens since the 18th century. Graham Swift won the 1996 Booker Prize for Fiction for "Last Orders".Swift, author of the bestselling MOTIVATION series (parts 1–3), has had his work highlighted on a variety of websites and in stories ranging from MilwaukeeBlackInfo.com to UrbanReviewsonline.com. He began freelancing work for journals such as Code 414, a quarterly publication in his hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, because he was not satisfied with exclusively non-fiction writing. Swift is best recognized for his streetwise literary style, in which he tells stories that depict life in an inner-city urban setting. His passion for psychology, along with a thorough understanding of street life, provides for an superb portrayal of the life and its characters.
