I put the question mark because I bought it but I haven't read it yet. It's gotten rave reviews.

It's by a British woman of Jamaican descent, and deals with race and class relations in London.

From the back cover:

"Zadie Smith's fizzing first novel is about how we all got here - from the Carribean, from the Indian subcontinent, from thirteenth place in a long-ago Olympic bicycle race - and about what 'here' turned out to be. It's an astonishingly assured debut, funny ans serious, and the voice has a real writerly idiosyncrasy. I was delighted by 'White Teeth' and often impressed. It has...bite." -- Salman Rushdie

I'm looking forward to getting to it. As soon as I get through the TFA liner notes.
