The Long Song

Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and longlisted for the Orange Prize, The Long Song is breathtaking, hauntingly beautiful, heartbreaking and unputdownable You do not know me yet.”My son Thomas, who is publishing this book, tells me, it is customary at this place in a novel to give the reader a little taste of the story that is held within these pages. As your storyteller, I am to convey that this tale is set in Jamaica during the last turbulent years of slavery and the early years of freedom that followed.”
