From the MAN BOOKER PRIZE- and WOMEN'S PRIZE-SHORTLISTED author of Swing Time, On Beauty and Grand Union

'BELIEVE THE HYPE' The Times

'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


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.

Zadie Smith is the author of the novels White Teeth, The Autograph Man, On Beauty, NW and Swing Time; as well as a novella, The Embassy of Cambodia; three collections of essays, Changing My Mind, Feel Free and Intimations; a collection of short stories, Grand Union; and the play, The Wife of Willesden, adapted from Chaucer. She is also the editor of The Book of Other People. Zadie Smith was born in north-west London, where she still lives. The Fraud is her first historical novel.

Funny, clever ... and a rollicking good read Do believe the hype, buy into it, curl up with it, savour every sentence, then turn around and re-read An impressive début, not only for its vitality and verve, but mainly for the sheer audacity of its scope and vision ... an epic tale ... swooping, funny ... it has ambition, wit and is unafraid Announces the debut of a preternaturally gifted new writer ... street-smart and learned, sassy and philosophical all at the same time An astonishingly assured début, funny and serious ... I was delighted Relentlessly funny ... idiosyncratic, and deeply felt She is . . . a George Eliot of multi-culturalism [Zadie Smith] is one of the prominent voices of her generation Britain's finest young author [Zadie Smith] packs more intelligence, humour and sheer energy into any given scene than anyone else of her generation [White Teeth] established a model for how to make sense-and art-out of the complexity, diversity and pluck that have defined the beginning of this century Expand reviews
