A surprising and wonderful novel.  The narrator, Ebenezer Le Page, tells the story of his life and of the passing of a way of life in the Channel Islands of Great Britain.  He speaks in a unique tongue, a sort of French/English patois, that sounds unlike anything you've ever heard.

As his story & his life come to a close, he finds a transcendent happiness that will warm the cockles of the coldest heart.
