«The Long Song» is Andrea Levy's historical novel, published by Tinder Press in paperback (432 pages, in English).
Set in Jamaica, the novel tells the story of July, a young slave on the Amity sugar plantation, at the twilight of the slave system and the beginning of an uncertain freedom. July witnesses the Baptist War of 1831 and abolition, and evokes her life with lucidity and irony for the book her son Thomas is preparing.
Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2010, it was also longlisted for the Orange Prize, adapted into a BBC series, and became a Sunday Times bestseller.
For readers of historical fiction and literary fiction about slavery and memory, such as Homegoing or 12 Years a Slave.
Andrea Levy was an English author best known for the novels Small Island (2004) and The Long Song (2010). She was born in London to Jamaican parents, and her work explores topics related to British Jamaicans and how they negotiate racial, cultural and national identities.
