Earl Lovelace writes about the survival of a small community of Spiritual Baptists with a lyricism and understanding of dialogue which has established an international reputation. 'If we clap we hands and catch the Spirit, the police could arrest us. One day we was Baptist, the next day we is criminals.' The Wine of Astonishment is a poignant and devastating tale of the discrimination the Black community of Bonasse faced during the first half of the 20th century. Told from the perspective of a religious wife, Eva retells the torment and tribulations her family and friends endure at the hands of abusive police and corrupt government officials. Hurtling towards its tragic climax, Bolo's transformation embodies the tragedy manifested when a people are pushed too far.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1919 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XV AGAINST ODDS It was a very quiet funeral, with a service at the house for only the relatives and nearest friends. Christopher had but few relatives, he thought, but it was astonishing how the brief lines in the paper had served to disinter old connections. There came faces and names he but vaguely remembered, and unfamiliar cousins pressed his hands. It was a horrible nightmare. Rosalie Day saved him all she could. She shrank from death, but she had been the dead woman's near friend--long had it been known that Mrs. Day's name on a committee would bring a cheque from Mrs. Stanley --and she owed her many a kindness and quiet favor. She took charge capably and she shielded Christopher. And she and Evelyn sat beside him in the darkened room, withdrawn from the group in the wide drawing rooms, gazing through another door at the black coffin in its wilderness of bloom. She was intensely sorry for the quiet, self-contained young man. And Evelyn broke down utterly at the graveside, in a mingled agony at the finality of death, the immensity of Christopher's loss, and sorrow of Mrs. Stanley's going. It was too pitiful, out there in the raw March wind, lowering the coffin to its last resting place! She was haunted by an image of the dead woman's face as it had been in life, only a week ago, as she had moved slowly about her room, bringing out the pictures she had wished Evelyn to see. Such pathetic transparency in her poor design! Evelyn had been as gentle as she could, but she thought now, shuddering from the sound of the clergyman's calm voice, that if she had only known, she would have buoyed her up with such kind, false hope! It would have made her so happy! Now she was gone. . . . And Christopher had said that she had spoken of...

Excerpt from The Wine of Astonishment From the shadows of the front room he flung his announcement at them, distrusting the clear light of scrutiny. His excitement possessed him too visibly. It rang out under the deceptive casualness of his young voice. He was on fire to be off to his adventure. He felt himself a man, an explorer, a free lance. It was maddening to have to thrust his head into the family living room and tell his parents that he was going over to Henry's for all night. And parents are not too easily satisfied. His father merely glanced up from the inevitable book, but his mother put down her magazine and told him to come in. He came with reluctance, a tall, high-shouldered boy of eighteen with gray eyes that looked dark under their black lashes and dark hair at war with the flat rigors of its youthful mode. Every step he took into the room made him less the man and adventurer until only a boy stood before his mother, impatiently apprehensive of adult curiosity and restriction. His mother merely told him not to be late for church in the morning. If he must stay with friends all night she wanted him home next day in season. What were they going to do? Nothing in particular?
