Treading Water
by Anne DeGrace has been chosen as the book to read this year.
Set in a fictional community based on Renata, B.C., the novel traces a community and its people from the first settler to the last to leave in the face of hydroelectric dam development in the 1960s. For people living in the Columbia Basin, and for anyone who has faced forced evacuation, this book is close to home.
