This edition is the prescribed text for the English Mastery
Secondary programme. Hortense yearns for a new life away from rural
Jamaica, Gilbert dreams of becoming a lawyer, and Queenie longs to
escape her Lincolnshire roots. In these three intimately connected
stories, hope and humanity meet stubborn reality, tracing the
tangled history of Jamaica and Britain. Andrea Levy's epic novel
Small Island, adapted for the stage by Helen Edmundson, journeys
from Jamaica to Britain in 1948 - the year that HMT Empire Windrush
docked at Tilbury. It premiered at the National Theatre, London, in
April 2019, directed by Rufus Norris. 'Honest, skilful, thoughtful
and important. This is Andrea Levy's big book' Guardian on Andrea
Levy's Small Island
