Every Light in the House Burnin'

In this poignant debut novel by Andrea Levy, the story unfolds around Angela, the youngest daughter of a Windrush immigrant, as she navigates the complexities of family and care in 1960s England. As her father falls seriously ill and relies on the National Health Service, Angela is drawn back to her childhood memories spent in a council estate in Highbury. With a blend of humor and emotion, Levy captures the trials and tribulations of family life and the immigrant experience. Longlisted for the Orange Prize for Fiction, this tale offers a rich exploration of love and resilience.
