The novel is widely acclaimed as Robinson s best, a large step forward in ambition from previous books, and this was reflected in its critical and commcercial response. The novel was shortlisted for the American Edgar Award and won the Anthony Award. Plot summary The novel concerns the unearthing of a skeleton from the sunken village of Hobbs End Hobb s End , which was turned into a reservoir during the war and now, due to severe dry weather, has been revealed again. The novel is told in two strands, one in the present, and one in the 1940s from the time just before the reservoir was created. The geography described by Robinson indicates that he based the location of Hobb s End on the village of West End, and the Thornfield Reservoir on the actual Thruscross Reservoir . The small bridge over the Washburn becomes the Fairy Bridge and the flax mill is mentioned explicitly.

orphan date February 2010 An Annual DrySeason Offensive is a type of low intensity warfare typically practiced by national governments against ethnic insurgent groups fighting for independence or autonomy. This type of warfare usually occurs in countries with poor transportation infrastructure and a climate that makes fighting battles or even holding territory during parts of the year very difficult. Such an offensive is carried out by central states that for geographical, political, financial and historical reasons must restrict troop movement and supply to the dryseason . Central Government forces usually move out of well established base areas into insurgent territory where they attempt to take and hold as much territory as possible while inflicting as many casualties as possible on the insurgent army. The army will also typically inflict as much material damage as possible in areas supporting the insurgency. The offensive also typically extends to collective punishments of the civilian population of the country. At the end of the offensive, the army gives back all of the territory taken and returns to its base areas until the next dryseason . The strategy behind Annual DrySeason Offensives is to slowly wear down an insurgency or to at least contain it. It can also prevent insurgent groups from gaining defacto independence from the government. The strategy has never on its own defeated an insurgent movement, but it can pressure insurgent groups into political negotiations. It is often used against groups that demand independence from a central government and have a large base of local ethnic support. The governments of Burma and the Sudan currently engage in annual dryseason offensives. Cambodia and Vietnam have engaged in such Vietnamese border raids in Thailand offensives during their war against Cambodian insurgent groups in the past. North Vietnam historically engaged in such offensives during a proxy war between irregular groups in Laos during the Vietnam ... more details
