The Windrush chronicler best known for novels Small Island and The Long Song died in 2019

Andrea Levy was thinking big as she jotted down notes for what would have been her sixth novel: it would be a love story entwined with colonial history and a richness that was Heat and Dust, Behind the Scenes at the Museum and even a touch of The Da Vinci Code.

“It would have been so much better than the Da Vinci Code, I’m sure,” said British Library curator Zoë Wilcox, reading one of the hundreds of notebooks that Levy stored in her cellar and are now in her care.
