Martin Sproale is a mild, conventional assistant postmaster living
in a small English coastal town, the only exceptional thing about
him being his obsession with Ernest Hemingway. This is confined
harmlessly enough to an encyclopaedic knowledge of everything about
the man and to living in a room surrounded by Hemingway
memorabilia. But when an ambitious young outsider, Nick Marshall,
is appointed postmaster over Martin and starts to transform the
friendly local post office for privatization and the high-tech
challenges of the 21st century, Martin is faced with a choice--to
go along with the drastic changes, or to be like his hero and fight
for what he believes in. Egged on by an American scholar, Ruth
Kohler, who is living nearby while completing a book in Hemingway,
Martin allows his obsession to take over more and more of his life,
culminating in a final, reckless act of revenge against the
ruthless modernizers.
