Some books sneak up on you. Others are thrown at you from every corner of the media to the extent that you almost make a conscious decision NOT to read them, or at least, not yet. Let the furore die down. If they're still around in a few years, your subconscious whispers, maybe we'll go see what all the fuss was about.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
This book featured in our [[January 2017 Newsletter]].
Further reading suggestion: for further workings of Zadie's take on the world check out the anthology of non-fiction writing: [[Changing My Mind: Occasional Essays by Zadie Smith|Changing My Mind]] or for more Immigrant-perspectives try [[The Immigrant by Manju Kapur]] or the classic [[Brick Lane by Monica Ali]].
