"All pleasures are guilty ones here" - The Boston GlobeAbout The ValleySwift River Valley is doomed: set to disappear beneath the waters of the Quabbin reservoir. Communities will be destroyed, lives uprooted, even the dead exhumed. Jeremy Treat is the town minister, a man of deep faith trying to inspire hope in a place destined to be taken from its inhabitants. He is also the husband of Una, a voluptuous eccentric pining for her first love, and father of Jimmy, a seemingly perfect child prodigy. Into this tight-knit family comes Sarianna, a romantic student obsessed by the story of the Valley.
