The second novel by talented Pinsent (Born July 12, 1930 in Grand Falls, Newfoundland and passed away 25 Feb 2023). "'The town was on its second cup of tea when the grey rock spoke....' begins this novel about a poverty-stricken mining town in western Newfoundland. There's been another disaster - four killed, some injured, the blame falling on the absentee owner who intends to shut down the entire enterprise. Like the grey rock, the world of John Munn is crumbling too. He has been the patriarch of this community for as long as anyone can remember. '... for this town called Sop's Cove smiled not a smile, snag not a song, danced not a jig, until it saw John Munn begin his day.' But now, his head bandaged, his mind confused, everything seems strange, timeless, threatening. The old way of life is slipping away and he's slipping away with it. His son is getting married – talking of leaving the mine, the town, maybe even the Island. And the Missus, silent as ever, is thinking - if not actually talking - the same kind of foolishness." - from the dust jacket.
