The Waters of Kronos

From the publisher:

When John Donner returns to the East Coast after spending some time out west, he finds his hometown submerged under the dark waters of a new lake—created in the construction of a nearby hydroelectric dam. Although the public is banned from the area, Donner manages to talk his way in—and remembers the life he led there long ago.

A haunting and lyrical story, this book deals with themes of family history, memory, reconciliation, and art’s role in creating community. The Waters of Kronos tells a story parallel to the life of its author—and it is believed in certain circles to be autobiographical.
