Small Island, A Novel
by Andrea Levey, 2004, Picador Books, New York
This book is about a man and a woman from Jamaica who married and then immigrated to England after WWII. It highlights the degree of racism that existed in England and the difficulty these individuals had in adjusting to their new surroundings.
The book wasn’t very interesting in the beginning but became more readable as I became more familiar with the characters. The writing is pretty good and the story picked up once I was into it. Overall, it was a pretty enjoyable read, but certainly not what I would categorize as a great book.
