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.

讀後感

《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。...
