3. Andrea Levy did not begin writing until she was in her mid-thirties. At that time there was little written about the black British experience in Britian. After attending writing workshops Levy began to write the novels that she, as a young woman, had always wanted to read. In her first three novels she explored – from different perspectives – the problems faced by black British born children of Jamaican emigrants[...] Andrea Levy is a Londoner. She not only lives and works in the city she loves but has used it as the setting in all her novels. From http://www.andrealevy.co.uk/eca1.html
