Description
A mild-mannered assistant postmaster's life is turned upside down when an ambitious outsider threatens to transform his local post office. Martin Sproale finds himself drawn into a world of rebellion, as he struggles to reconcile his desire for change with his admiration for the legendary Ernest Hemingway. As the modernizers close in, Martin's obsession with Hemingway grows, and he begins to take drastic action. With the help of an American scholar, Ruth Kohler, Martin finds himself on a collision course with those who seek to bring progress to the post office. This humorous novel is a tale of one man's fight for what he believes in, as he navigates the challenges of the 21st century and confronts his own sense of identity.
