HAWESWATER

Book ID/图书代码： 04560019C00084

English Summary/英文概要： 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.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在英格兰北部一个偏远的山谷里，一个有着几百年历史的乡村社区几乎没有改变地延续到了20世纪30年代中期。但后来，曼彻斯特一家自来水公司的发言人杰克•利格特从城里开车过来，为一座巨大的新水库设计景观。河谷必须被疏散，被洪水淹没，被摧毁；它的水被抽到中部地区，它的社区成了一片废墟。

当利格特与当地的女强人珍妮特•莱特本开始了一段麻烦的恋情时，他进一步加剧了这个村庄的问题。

小说以明亮的散文形式叙述，对时间和地点有一种直观的感觉，霍斯沃特回忆起一个已经消失了几十年的英格兰乡村。（WYL）
