"On a copper rich, tropical island shattered by war, where the teachers have fled with most everyone else, only one white man chooses to stay behind: the eccentric Mr. Watts, object of much curiosity and scorn, who sweeps out the ruined schoolhouse and begins to read to the children each day from Charles Dickens' classic GREAT EXPECTATIONS. Intense, beautiful, and fable-like, Lloyd Jones' MISTER PIP is a remarkable work of fiction that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the power of narrative to transform our lives."--Publisher.
