In this delicately wrought and profoundly moving, multi-award winning novel, Andrea Levy handles the weighty themes of empire, prejudice, war and love, with a lightness of touch and a generosity of spirit that challenges and uplifts the reader. It is 1948, and England is recovering from a war. But at 21 Nevern Street. London, the conflict has only just begun. Queenie Bligh's neighbours do not approve when she agrees to take in Jamaican lodgers, but with her husband, Bernard, not back from the war, what else can she do? Gilbert Joseph was one of the several thousand Jamaican men who joined the RAF to fight against Hitler. Returning to England as a civilian he finds himself treated very differently. Gilbert's wife Hortense, too, had longed to leave Jamaica and start a better life in England. But when she joins him she is shocked to find London shabby, decrepit, and far from the city of her dreams. Even Gilbert is not the man she thought he was.
it took me ages to finish this for i've already seen the film before reading this, so no mystery for me. the film depicts Bernard better i dare say for BC's sake. intriguing story, BBC has done a great film. If you have watched the film then there's no need to read this i think.

評分中文版- - 其實看完有點想去看看英文版。 4個主人公的視角展開其實很特彆,畢竟每個人的角度看到的東西都是不同的。戰爭究竟帶給瞭我們什麼,帶給瞭他們什麼。種族問題到現在依舊嚴峻,不是嗎。
