Publisher's summary

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of White Teeth by Zadie Smith, read by Lenny Henry, Sagar Arya, Pippa Bennett-Warner and Ray Panthaki.

Zadie Smith's White Teeth is a classic international best seller and an unforgettable portrait of London.

One of the most talked about fictional debuts ever, 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-listen.

A must read for a modern messy world

a mesmerizing social panorama of modern London with all it's complexity, chaos and plurality. The primary story is of two men of different backgrounds and families and all the noise that flows from that, in a captivatingly seductive narrative voice .The story also offers multiple deep( often comical) insights on history, colonialsim, religion, race, family and belonging.

Finally read this classic

Sometimes you think you've read a book if you've seen the mini-series. But you haven't. I am so glad I went back to read this book properly because it is SO good. It hasn't aged. It is a cracking story riven with issues that are still pertinent. And it's funny.
Loved it.
