White Teeth

Zadie Smith's White Teeth is a classic international bestseller and an unforgettable portrait of London. One of the most talked-about fiction debuts ever, White Teeth is a funny, generous, big-hearted novel, adored by critics and readers alike. Dealing — among many other things — with friendship, love, war, three cultures and three families over three generations, one brown mouse, and the tricky way the past has of coming back and biting you on the ankle, it is a life-affirming, riotous must-read of a book.
