2024 day 23: Small Island by Andrea Levy

The story of the people who came to England from the colonies after WW2, told through the eyes of a Jamaican couple and an English couple, and of the difficulties everybody involved had in adapting to the new circumstances

My top character is the Jamaican Hortense, who followed her husband to England. She's stubborn and haughty, and her reactions to the prejudice she encounters in England make for the best scenes in the book

The front cover of Andrea Levy's book Small Island. The tittle is written across the centre of the page in white small caps text. The cover image is a black and white photograph featuring two women with their backs to one another, facing sideways. One the left is an elegant black woman with white gloves and a handbag, and her hair under a hat, while on the right is a white woman, slightly out of focus
