Ranging in time from the late 1960s to the present day, Watershed is the story of Anne Macleod, a young Ottawa public servant who finds her life caught up in the tumultuous events of her time -- Trudeaumania, the FLQ crisis, and Quebec separatism. Finding love only to lose it, she is later confronted with a decades-old mystery, with her efforts to unravel it leading to new and surprising revelations. Watershed is a novel both of intriguing characterization and one that is evocative of times and places that still resonate in the Canadian experience.
