"Zadie Smith's brilliant tragi-comic NW follows four Londoners - Leah, Natalie, Felix and Nathan - after they've left their childhood council estate, grown up and moved on to different lives. From private houses to public parks, at work and at play, their city is brutal, beautiful and complicated. Yet after a chance encounter they each find that the choices they've made, the people they once were and are now, can suddenly, rapidly unravel. A portrait of modern urban life, NW is funny, sad and urgent - as brimming with vitality as the city itself."

Taking it to the Leeds UnConvention for my NSS partner megmac. Happy reading!!

Thank you so much for this and my other lovely gifts! I hope I got to thank you in person :)

I enjoyed this a great deal. Zadie Smith is probably the best British author currently working (or at least my favourite).

Passing on to my BCBrum Secret Santa partner. Merry Christmas, Sian x

AH, I thought it was you, Meg. Thanks so much for my Christmas pressies! :-)
