This was a very different book from my usual remit and all thanks to the Richard and Judy book club.
About a tiny Island that is being taken over by rebels and civil war. An unlikely hero is the only white man on the island married to a native woman who becomes the local teacher. His teachings of Dickens' Great Expectations keeps the children as well as the parents thoughts diverted from the obvious danger of war. A violent yet engaging tale of hope over adversity.
