Today’s World Book Night title – Small Island

In the late 1940′s, Gilbert and Hortense come to England from Jamaica and lodge with Queenie whose husband Bernard is still absent in the forces. They hope to find a better life, but the reality is rather different. This is a hard hitting, sometimes funny story of fraught relationships between people and races.

Look our for our programme of screenings of World Book Night titles coming to a library near you!
