Winner of the 2004 Orange Prize for Fiction A Picador Original Trade Paperback Hortense Joseph arrives in London from Jamaica in 1948 with her life in her suitcase, her heart broken, her resolve intact. Her husband, Gilbert Joseph, returns from the war expecting to be received as a hero, but finds his status as a black man in Britain to be second class. His white landlady, Queenie, raised as a farmer's daughter, befriends Gilbert, and later Hortense, with innocence and courage, until the unexpected arrival of her husband, Bernard, who returns from combat with issues of his own to resolve. Told in these four voices, "Small Island "is a courageous novel of tender emotion and sparkling wit, of crossings taken and passages lost, of shattering compassion and of reckless optimism in the face of insurmountable barriers---in short, an encapsulation of that most American of experiences: the immigrant's life.
对Bernard的塑造在主人物里所占篇幅最少却十分立体,不仅仅是racism的化身,他既可怜又可厌的复杂性完全胜过Gilbert和Hortense扁平无趣之转型。PTSD梦的描写十分出彩。然而列维的重点大概也不在人物塑造。作者本人的影子太重,她也没能做到以更加旁观和跳脱的角度审视历史(却选用了插叙的时间线),只是还绕在那个逻辑里,用充满既定审判的情绪讲述故事。主题当然很正,读起来有点柴了。
