<br/><br/> With her life in a suitcase, Horense Joseph arrives in London from Jamaica in 1948 to live with her new husband Gilbert. Dismayed to find a London that is far from the city of her dreams, Hortense is not alone in her disappointment; her white land lady Queenie reflects on her unhappy marriage while her husband Gilbert finds his status as a black man in Britain to be second class.<br/>Through shared adversity bonds are formed resulting in a sacrifice that will bind both women together forever.<br/>"Small Island" is a courageous story of tender emotion and sparkling wit, of shattering compassion and reckless optimism in the face of insurmountable barriers.
