Description

Small Island is a moving novel of empire, prejudice, war and love, set against the backdrop of post-war England. In 1948, England is recovering from a devastating conflict, but for one woman, the struggle is far from over. Queenie Bligh's decision to take in Jamaican lodgers sets off a chain of events that exposes the deep-seated prejudices of her community. Meanwhile, a young man returns to England after serving in the RAF, only to find that his experiences have changed him in profound ways. As the story unfolds, two characters from different worlds must navigate the complexities of their own identities and the changing social landscape of post-war London. With its delicately wrought prose and profound emotional depth, Small Island is a powerful exploration of the human experience.
