Levy, Andrea Reserve Kit Small Island Set mostly in England during and after World War II, "Small Island" is about four different people at a time of profound social upheaval: Queenie, the spoiled blonde daughter of a British butcher; her husband Bernard, the repressed working-class soldier committed to his ideals; Gilbert, Queenie's Jamaican tenant and Royal Air Force veteran struggling to belong in the Mother Country he fought for; and Gilbert's lovely and demanding Jamaican wife Hortense, who married not for love but for a better life that she failed to find. As each of these character's lives intersect in surprising and disruptive ways, all are forced to confront, and eventually adapt, to the changing world around them. 441 p. 2005 Adult Fiction Book Discussion Questions
