Winner of the 2004 Orange Prize for Fiction A Picador Original Trade Paperback Hortense Joseph arrives in London from Jamaica in 1948 with her life in her suitcase, her heart broken, her resolve intact. Her husband, Gilbert Joseph, returns from the war expecting to be received as a hero, but finds his status as a black man in Britain to be second class. His white landlady, Queenie, raised as a farmer's daughter, befriends Gilbert, and later Hortense, with innocence and courage, until the unexpected arrival of her husband, Bernard, who returns from combat with issues of his own to resolve. Told in these four voices, "Small Island "is a courageous novel of tender emotion and sparkling wit, of crossings taken and passages lost, of shattering compassion and of reckless optimism in the face of insurmountable barriers---in short, an encapsulation of that most American of experiences: the immigrant's life.
Andrea Levy was an English novelist, born in London to Jamaican parents. Her novels chronicled the experiences of the post-World War II generation of Jamaican immigrants in Britain. She was one of the first black British authors to achieve both critical and commercial success. Her novel Small Island won several major literary prizes: the Orange Prize for women's fiction, the Commonwealth Writers' Prize and the Whitbread Book of the Year award.

评分蛮无聊的...
评分Black history. equality wasn't introduced that long ago and some people out there still are struggling.

《小岛》这本书一如他的名字,是一座看似小,实则富饶的岛屿,稍不留神,你很可能就与之擦肩而过。 如果要做个比喻的话,《小岛》应该是归为《飘》一类的作品,当然他没有《飘》来的气势磅礴,却也别有风情。 那样的风情,也往往因为作家轻松调侃的风格被很多人忽略。...
评分 评分奎妮 “人口-在避难中心,我们这样称呼他们。那些住处被毁、无家可归、厚脸皮忍受世界被炸成碎片这一灾难的人们。那些让纸板棺材空着却挤满破旧学校教师的人,他们那悲惨的面容和肮脏的衣服,让刚从井下出来的矿工好像圣诞节的小精灵。他们呼拉一大片挤进来,你觉得自己好像是...
评分如果不是BC我是不会去看小岛这个迷你剧,就更不会对原著产生兴趣。 花了两个半小时看完了整本书,不能说每字每句都仔细看了,也至少不是囫囵吞枣。 原著中的每个主要出场人物都有第一人称的表述,将人物背景及在那个年代所经历的事情一一摆在读者面前,人物丰满鲜活。无论多么...
评分朋友说这是他过去一年读过的最好的一本书,猜他是忍痛割爱送给我的。 文字很诙谐幽默,故事也很简单自然,但一切对我来讲都很新鲜。 回想春节时在拉萨的青旅,因为发烧在灯光昏暗的室内休息,晚上把双拼的木椅子挤在卫生间门口明亮的灯光中,裹着被子沉浸在他们挣扎的世界里。 ...
