A SIGNED UK first edition, first impression - with the number 1 on the copyright page. They go to the same grammar school, but while Vivien's life becomes a chaotic mix of friendships, youth clubs, skinhead violence. July is a slave girl who lives upon a sugar plantation named Amity and it is her life that is the subject of this tale. But neither is that perfect - and nor are her relations with her overbearing, though always loving family. Queenie Bligh's neighbours do not approve when she agrees to take in Jamaican lodgers, but Queenie doesn't know when her husband will return, or if he will come back at all. The Long Song No remainder marks. This is the story of two sisters, Olive and Vivien, born in London to Jamaican parents and brought up on a council estate.
