Zadie Smith
Set in northwest London, Zadie Smithâ€™s brilliant tragicomic novel follows four localsâ€”Leah, Natalie, Felix, and Nathanâ€”as they try to make adult lives outside of Caldwell, the council estate of their childhood. In private houses and public parks, at work and at play, these Londoners inhabit a complicated place, as beautiful as it is brutal, where the thoroughfares hide the back alleys and taking the high road can sometimes lead you to a dead end. Depicting the modern urban zoneâ€”familiar to city-dwellers everywhereâ€”,NW, is a quietly devastating novel of encounters, mercurial and vital, like the city itself.
