Small Island, by Andrea Levy

Really enjoyed this book.

Our reading group reviewed this last year and comprehensively loved it. It tells the tale of an independent-minded Londoner and her Jamaican ex-RAF lodgers in the aftermath of the second world war. Having fought for the Allies, the young men discover to their astonishment that they are not welcomed with open arms to the country they risked their lives for. This is a story about bigotry, love, loss and courage. Well worth a read.

Recommended by a friend. Very easy to read. Really enjoyable and thought provoking. Have recommeded it to others who also loved it. Certainly more than a holiday novel but would certainly not be too heavy for the beach/ on the train to work. Read and enjoy.

A friend recommended this book to me and it was really good, I couldn't put it down. I loved the way the writer gave different perspectives from the different characters.
