Description

The Great Level is a haunting and beautifully written novel about a tragic love affair set against the backdrop of a threatened world. In 1649, Jan Brunt arrives in England to work on draining and developing the Great Level, an expanse of marsh in the heart of the fen country.

There, he meets Eliza, whose love overturns his ordered vision and forces him to see the world differently. But when Jan flees to the New World, a note delivered by a boy prompts him to remember the fens, and confront all that was lost there.

This is a richly involving story of love, difference, and the power of memory. With its vivid setting and compelling characters, The Great Level is a worthwhile read for anyone looking to be transported to another time and place.
