The Hungarian Revolution of that year is the background that the characters are thinking and talking about. It is a fitting metaphor for what is going on in David and Nick's life that evening in 1956. And like many of Rees' best works, nature makes a dramatic appearance. The characters in Watershed are well drawn, their the sense of time and place and especially the morality of that time and place are skillfully depicted. There is a love scene near the end of the novel which captures the longing, sense of discovery, and tenderness of the inception of a sexual relationship long dreamed of but not before manifested for these characters. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 156 pages.
