  • The Long Song by Andrea Levy

The Long Song by Andrea Levy

This novel by multi-award winning novelist Andrea Levy has the reader hooked from the first page. It is the story of two women, July, a Jamaican taken into slavery as a babe in arms, and the widowed Caroline Mortimer, sister to plantation owner John Howarth.

July is not a typical slave, nor is Caroline a typical slave mistress. Their stories are intertwined and the writing is vivid, seductive and emotive. Once read, The Long Song is hard to forget.

Fabulous fiction quotes

“Mma Ramotswe sighed. 'We are all tempted, Mma. We are all tempted when it comes to cake. 'That is true' said Mma Potokwane sadly. 'There are many temptations in this life, but cake is probably one of the biggest of them.”
