Set in New England, `The Forms of Water' is a superb exploration of the complexities of family life, grief and the ties that continue to bind us to the past.
At the age of eighty, Brendan Auberon, a former monk, is now confined to a wheelchair in a nursing home. As a last wish, he is desperate to catch a final glimpse of the two hundred acres of woodland on which once stood his parental home. Half a century ago, the owners of the land were evicted from their homes and the land was flooded to create a reservoir which would provide water for the big city.Buy The Forms of Water by Andrea Barrett from Australia's Online Independent Bookstore, BooksDirect.
