[A] moving, funny, honest novel Elle13/2/04 (Elle 20040501). I enjoyed SMALL ISLAND enormously and wish itevery success. It conjures up so vividly the era of the 1940 s andexpresses so vividly through the lives of its four protagonists theconflicts and racist attitudes that existed at that time. A wonderfulinsight into a little understood period Joan Bakewell (Joan Bakewell20040501). Small Island is never less than finely-written, delicately andoften comically observed, and impressively rich in detail and littlenuggets of stories Evening Standard, 2 February 2004 (Evening Standard20040501).
