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.

Critic Reviews

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 (Meera Syal)
Announces the debut of a preternaturally gifted new writer ... street-smart and learned, sassy and philosophical all at the same time
Relentlessly funny ... idiosyncratic, and deeply felt
An astonishingly assured début, funny and serious ... I was delighted (Salman Rushdie)
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

I struggled to finish this book.. The whole book is pointless. The author has got basic facts wrong. Samad Iqbal a Muslim claims that he is the grandson of Mangal Pandey a Hindu.. Looks like the author didn't do proper research on Indian Freedom Struggle. The chapters just jump from one irrelevant story to another with British, Jamaican, India, Bangladesh fictional characters..If this was a fictional story why has the author referenced real events, dates and history.. Very inaccurate description of almost everything.. The book is not even funny but was a great waste of time.

Audible narration is overall good .But one of the male narrator has read female dialogues is a weird girly tone. Clara's and Alsana's dialogues are narrated in this way.. This is very annoying ,irritating and sounds cheesy.. Audible please tell your male narrators not to imitate female voices...
