Andrea Levy, one of the best writers in Britain today, has just been shortlisted for awards in two different categories of the British Book Awards. Levy is the author of Small Island, Fruit of the Lemon and Every Light in the House Burnin' and won the Whitbread and Orange Prizes for fiction, both in the same year. Phenomenally gifted, she writes of the Caribbean identity in Britain and being a black female in a white male dominated society.
