“ Black Lamb & Grey Falcon” was first published in 1942 & is Rebecca West`s epic masterpiece, widely regarded as the most illuminating book to have been written on the former state of Yugoslavia. Although more than half a century old, the book itself feels as immediate & important than as if it had taken place today, let alone that long ago. Although a serious work, West ensures that what you experience is done so with a sense of ironic humour & astute observation. It is a work of enduring value that remains essential for anyone attempting to understand the enigmatic history of the Balkan states, & the continuing friction in this fractured area of Europe. ...

In late seventeenth century London two women, one white, one black, stake everything to prevent a manipulative mogul destroying them. Zenobia, born in poverty, grasps that her only hope of controlling her own life is to capitalise on her looks; Lily, brought to London on a sugar & slave ship as a `toy`, educated alongside her mistress but used by her master, lives as a kept woman. As their story weaves & folds through a murky & merciless London, both find themselves pitted against a ruthless man the world knows as John Crace. London`s rich but festering possibilities as a rapidly-changing multinational city are breathtakingly painted, & pungent milieux ranging from plague pits to prisons to pastry kitchens
- & Pickled Herring Stairs
- are vividly brought to life.

These images form an important part of the book`s narrative & reveal our subject`s character; they are often haunting, whimsical, unusual & illustrative of a particular time, moment or achievement. In telling the individual stories of Black Londoners, this book reveals the history of London herself, from slave to imperial economy; during the upheavals of two world wars; in the throes of mass immigration & urban riots of the 1950s & 1980s, & finally as beneficiary of the technological revolution of the twenty-first century. What our subjects share is an active role in the making of the modern history of London. After reading ” Black Londoners”, we may all look at this familiar city slightly differently
- with even more passion & greater understanding.
