Synopsis

A stunning new edition of one of the most iconic fictional debuts of all time, to mark the 25th anniversary of this modern classic - perfect for any Zadie Smith fan!

‘What’s past is prologue…’

First published in the year 2000, Zadie Smith’s White Teeth was one of the most celebrated novels of the new millennium. Adored by critics and readers alike, it remains a perennial bestseller, which still delights with the audacity of its scope and vision, its fresh-minted style, and the wit and warmth of its voice.

Funny, generous and big-hearted, it deals – 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.

A beautiful ode to the cultural variety of London in the 20th century told through a heartwarmingly and simultaneously heartbreakingly hilarious saga
A saga of a book. One that grips you and involves you so wholly. This is set in a time before my existence and yet speaks to me as if it were timeless. Be... READ MORE
