Fruit of the Lemon by Andrea Levy
Faith Jackson is a British citizen of Jamaican descent working in NYC. Aware of the covert and public racism of her daily life, Faith goes to Jamaica, where her Aunt Coral’s storytelling provides her with ancestors whose lives span countries and centuries. Faith discovers her own vibrant heritage, which is far richer and wilder than she could have imagined. Fruit of the Lemon explores questions of race and identity with humor and freshness.
