The international bestseller and modern classic of multicultural Britain – an unforgettable portrait of London
One of the most talked about debut novels of all time, 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.
‘The almost preposterous talent was clear from the first pages’ Julian Barnes, Guardian
‘Street-smart and learned, sassy and philosophical all at the same time’ New York Times
‘Outstanding’ Sunday Telegraph
