Recenzii

'THE LONG SONG is is told with irresistible cunning; it is captivating, mischievious and optimistic, generating new stories and plot lines throughout the tale' -- Daily Telegraph 'Bittersweet and mischievous, Levy's keenly awaited new novel is worth the wait for all fans of her SMALL ISLAND' -- Daily Mail 'Slavery is a grim subject indeed, but the wonder of Levy's writing is that she can confront such things and somehow derive deeply life-affirming entertainment from them... Levy's aim, she says, was to write a book that instilled pride in anyone with slave ancestors and THE LONG SONG, though "its load may prove to be unsettling", is surely that book' -- Sunday Telegraph 'This is a terrific book: beautifully written and imagined, and full of surprises' -- A. N. Wilson, Reader's Digest 'As well as being beautifully written THE LONG SONG is a thoroughly researched historical novel that is both powerful and heartbreaking' -- Daily Express 'Thoroughly captivating' -- Guardian 'A novel such as SMALL ISLAND is a hard act to follow, but in her new book Levy has moved into top gear... She dares to write about her subject in an entertaining way without ever trivialising it and THE LONG SONG reads with the sort of ebullient effortlessness that can only be won by hard work' -- Observer Beautifully written, intricately plotted, humorous and earthy... Those who enjoyed SMALL ISLAND will love THE LONG SONG, not just for the insights on the "wretched island", but as a marvel of luminous storytelling' -- Financial Times 'Levy brings her distinctive lightness of touch to what is otherwise unrelentingly bleak subject matter... This is a beautifully written and cleverly constructed novel that projects convincing personal relationships on to the feral backdrop of the Jamaican plantations' -- The Times 'Levy has a rare ability to channel the maelstrom of history into the most intimate of human dramas' -- New Statesman '[Levy] has painted a vivid and persuasive portrait of Jamaican slave society, a society that succeeded with bravery, style and strategic patience both to outsmart its oppressors and to plant the seeds of what is today a culture celebrated worldwide' -- New York Times 'A tumultuous tale, superbly evoked' -- Woman & Home 'Levy has slipped through the cracks of history and beautifully animated a subject about which, on a human level, we know depressingly little' -- Metro 'A vivid, sometimes brutal and incredibly absorbing story' -- Good Housekeeping
