From the backlist! This is one of Zadie Smith's older novels. It follows three families in London over several generations, as they nagivate difficulties in being immigrants, war trauma, family difficulties, and more. You read from several different perspectives as time goes on, and grow to understand each of the characters.

In general I liked it, although there were a few plot points where I found it hard to believe the characters would behave in the way that they did, and I found the plot points themselves to be kind of silly. The last 100 pages also really dragged, I'm not sure why it had to be that long. 

 
 So I would recommend this if you're already a big fan of Zadie Smith. If you're new to her novels, I would recomend picking up something else first (I loved Swing Time!)
