“White Teeth is a 2000 novel by the British author Zadie Smith. It focuses on the later lives of two wartime friends—the Bangladeshi Samad Iqbal and the Englishman Archie Jones—and their families in London. The novel is centered on Britain’s relationship with immigrants from the British Commonwealth.”
I loved this book. It covered so many characters and so many sides of the same issues. Essentially a family saga about two families in an immigrant community in England, and an English family.
Part of what is wonderful about White Teeth is that it is the incomparable Zadie Smith’s debut novel, 22 years ago. I really recommend that you give this book a try if you haven’t picked it up before. Not your typical summer read, at an impressive 480 pages, it is funny and beautiful.
