Levy, Andrea Small Island
Headline Book Publishing Ltd September 13, 2 0-7553-0750-X / 9780755307500 Paperback Very Good
Andrea Levy's award-winning novel, Small Island, deftly brings two bleak fa milies into crisp focus. First a Jamaican family, including the well-intent ioned Gilbert, who can never manage to say or do exactly the right thing; R omeo Michael, who leaves a wake of women in his path; and finally, Hortense , whose primness belies her huge ambition to become English in every way po ssible. The other unhappy family is English, starting with Queenie, who esc apes the drudgery of being a butcher's daughter only to marry a dull banker . As the chapters reverse chronology and the two groups collide and finally mesh, the book unfolds through time like a photo album, and Levy captures the struggle between class, race, and sex with a humor and tenderness that is both authentic and bracing. The book is cinematic in the best way--light ing up London's bombed-out houses and wartime existence with clarity and ve rve while never losing her character's voice or story.
