Small Island
by Andrea Levy
by Andrea Levy
This has been sitting on my pile for the last few years and was one of the books I brought with me to NZ. Something about it always made me put it back and pick something else up but this time I opened it and rapidly got sucked in.
A charming, funny and often saddening tale of the swing towards multiculturalism during the second world war and the people affected. The ending genuinely moved me, leaving you with a hope of change.

Would you like to put a question to Andrea Levy herself about Small Island? BBC World Book Club is interviewing her on Tuesday 8th December and would love to hear from you. If you could email me at ruth.mcdermott@bbc.co.uk as soon as you can with your question about the book (anything - doesn't have to be particularly clever!), we can either arrange for you to talk to the woman herself, or have our presenter put your question to Andrea for you. Then you get to hear your question on World Service Radio! Please get in touch soonest, including where you are in the world.
Thanks, and all the best.
