The lemon fruit
By Andrea Levy, published from Baldini Castoldi, May 2006
In the “lemon fruit” there’s, in the end of everything, the recovery of the hope and trust which resound in the song “lemon tree” by Will Holt which inspires the book’s title: “ ...my father said to me, come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree. Put your faith in what you feel and not in what you see”. Believe in what you feel and not in what you see, because the truth has to be searched not through an “assimilation  towards outside, but in the deep integration of one’s own ego that undertakes on himself the past and the story, to open, in the end, towards the future”. In the white and imperial London of the end of the 70s, Faith Jackson, a london girl daughter of Giamaican immigrants, starts going through a deeper and deeper crisis with the world that surrounds her, for her diversity: she’s black among white people. Only in her family’s original country she will be able to find a new place in the world.
