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.

评分對Bernard的塑造在主人物裏所占篇幅最少卻十分立體，不僅僅是racism的化身，他既可憐又可厭的復雜性完全勝過Gilbert和Hortense扁平無趣之轉型。PTSD夢的描寫十分齣彩。然而列維的重點大概也不在人物塑造。作者本人的影子太重，她也沒能做到以更加旁觀和跳脫的角度審視曆史（卻選用瞭插敘的時間綫），隻是還繞在那個邏輯裏，用充滿既定審判的情緒講述故事。主題當然很正，讀起來有點柴瞭。
