In the London neighborhood of immigrants, the families of Archie Jones and Samad Iqbal, two former World War II fighters, reunite after thirty years. Archie marries an exuberant Jamaican woman, while Samad joins Alsana, a Bengali woman with clear ideas. However, their biggest challenges are not their marriages, the lack of money, or the aftermath of the war, but the relationship with their children, who rebel against British racism, their social class, their origins, and their history. Each in their own way, they demonstrate how difficult it is to escape a pre-established destiny. Zadie Smith, with her exceptional first novel, shows an unprecedented ability to capture human greatness and misery with humor and irony.
