The Schoolmaster
About this book
'Each word is a revelation.'
The Times
'Earl Lovelace is the real stuff, a proper writer.' James Kelman
In the sleepy village of Kumuca, Trinidad, change happens slowly. Yet to move with the times and expand the horizons of the villagers, the elders elect to build a school and bring in a schoolmaster with great celebration. The warnings of a local priest - that the quest for education will bring more to the village than they expect - are ignored. But the villagers will learn, all too cruelly, that progress can mean the destruction of what they know and love.
