Praise from the U.K. for Fruit of the Lemon:
"Levy's raw sense of realism and depth of feeling infuses every line."--Elle
"Bright and inventive . . . Levy's command of voices, whether English or Jamaican, is fine, fresh and funny."--The Observer
"Always refreshingly undogmatic . . . [readers] will recognize the truthfulness of the world which Andrea Levy describes."--The Sunday Telegraph
"A thoughtful comment on racism and the importance of knowing where you are from."--The Sunday Times
Praise for Small Island:
Winner of The Commonwealth Prize and Shortlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Award
"A perfectly crafted tale of crossed lives and oceans . . . Happily, the hype is warranted--Small Island is a triumph."--San Francisco Chronicle
"Andrea Levy's beautifully wrought novel is a window into 1948 England. . . . Levy demarcates class lines effortlessly--sparing postwar England nothing of its racism--as she weaves a bristling, funny, angry tale of love and sacrifice."--Entertainment Weekly
