I'm an avid (professional and amateur) reader of British fiction, and I consider this simply THE most outstanding postwar British novel, though Swift has come close in Last Orders. No book is perfect, but in Waterland Graham Swift has created a world that seduces and a narrative voice that fascinates. READ THIS BOOK!
