An epic in a literary sense. You are tangled into this interweaving web of families that call Willesden home, spanning decades, countries and generations. It is a no nonsence, no sugar coating portrait of multicultural London. 
Themes: Racism, colonialism, multiculturism, identity
The ending was rushed, there was suspense built up but ultimately it was underwhelming. I guess you could say 'teething' problems given it was Smith's first novel. Can't wait to read more of her work.

I was bored. I really wanted to like it but I didn’t care about any of the characters so I just read to finish. The writing reminded me a little of Catch-22 with its humor but that didn’t save the story for me.

my_a's review against another edition

I enjoyed the writing style but I found it very slow with a lack of plot at 50 pages in.
