Notă biografică

Andrea Levy was born in England to Jamaican parents who came to Britain in 1948. 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 at Britain and its changing population and at the intimacies that bind British history with that of the Caribbean. She has written five novels, been a judge for the Orange Prize for Fiction, Orange Futures and the Saga Prize, and has been a recipient of an Arts Council Award. Her most recent novel, THE LONG SONG, was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and her acclaimed novel SMALL ISLAND won the Orange Prize for Fiction, the Orange Prize for Fiction: Best of the Best, the Whitbread Novel Award, the Whitbread Book of the Year Award and the Commonwealth Writers' Prize, was adapted into a major BBC TV drama.

Recenzii

"Levy has a gift for creating character through mimickry, bu tnever succumbs to thepitgalls of sentiment masquerading as authenticity. This is a comic but sharp novel that steers its readers confidently through its heroine's revelatory journey' Times Funny and moving... Levy is an ironic comedian whose subtle, intelligent novel steers well clear of whimsy -- Guardian 'Unflinchingly unsentimental, her writing is leavened with humour and warmth...entertaining and revelatory' -- TLS 'Written in an accessible, friendly style' Independent on Sunday Reinforces Levy's reputation as an astute observer of modern British life -- Financial Times Always refreshingly undogmatic...[readers] will recognise the truthfulness of the world which Andrea Levy describes -- Sunday Telegraph 'Levy has a gift for voices...a thoughtful comment on racism and the importance of knowing where you are from' -- The Sunday Times 'Bright and inventive' -- Independent
