Earl Lovelace

Opis

After 19 years of teaching his pupils to emigrate, Alford George, elitist schoolteacher turned populist politician, is forced to work out a welcome for the diverse races of Trinidad to their own island and how to liberate those who, despite emancipation, are still struggling under old captivities.

Recenzje

"Although relatively slim, the novel packs in an astonishing quantity of historical and social detail... There is an element of political didacticism, but it is offset by Lovelace's humorous tone and his seductive, painterly boldness with the language." (Sunday Times)
