DescriptionShortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and longlisted for the Orange Prize, The Long Song is breathtaking, hauntingly beautiful, heartbreaking and unputdownable. Author descriptionAndrea Levy was born in England to Jamaican parents who came to Britain in 1948. She has lived all her life in London. After attending writing workshops when she was in her mid-thirties, Levy began to write the novels that she, as a young woman, had always wanted to read -- entertaining novels that reflect the experiences of black Britons, which look closely and perceptively at Britain and its changing population and at the intimacies that bind British history with that of the Caribbean. |
