Description
Learning by Heart is a poignant memoir of "the teaching life" in isolated communities in pre- and post-Confederate Newfoundland, a fine blend of personal and social history in which the Newfoundland setting is a strong presence throughout, a detailed backdrop for the book's convincing realism.
