White Teeth
White Teeth by Zadie Smith is an astonishingly accomplished first novel, available as a Penguin Essential for the first time.
Early in the morning, late in the century, Cricklewood Broadway…
One of the most talked about first novels ever, White Teeth is a funny, generous, big-hearted novel, adored by critics and readers alike. It deals with friendship, love, war, three cultures, and three families over three generations. The story includes one brown mouse and explores 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.
