Review
'THE LONG SONG is simultaneously the life-affirming story of one woman's battle to survive in terrible circumstances, and a tribute to the legions of slaves who did more than suffer and die, but also managed to squeeze all they possibly could out of the bleakest of circumstances' (Independent)
'Told with irresistible cunning; it is captivating, mischievous and optimistic' (Telegraph)
'Levy has a rare ability to channel the maelstrom of history into the most intimate of human dramas' (New Statesman)
Book Description
