Description
The Long Song by Andrea Levy is a hauntingly beautiful novel set in Jamaica during the last turbulent years of slavery and the early years of freedom that followed. The story revolves around July, a slave girl living on a sugar plantation named Amity, and her life is marked by the Baptist War of 1831 and the declaration of slavery's abolition.
The novel chronicles the lives of the people who lived on the plantation, including July's mother Kitty, the negroes who worked the land, and the white woman Caroline Mortimer who owned the plantation. As the story unfolds, it is a thrilling journey through that time, bringing to life the people who lived it.
With its luminous storytelling, The Long Song is a powerful and unputdownable tale that explores the complexities of slavery, freedom, and the human experience. This is a novel that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
