NW by Zadie Smith

4.0

I think this book would be more rewarding for people who know the city of London-- I feel like I lost out on a lot of the descriptions due to a lack of prior knowledge regarding the city and its different neighborhoods. But nonetheless, it was still an engaging story and I really liked the prose, which was set up more like a poem than paragraph text in certain chapters. I also thought the characters were very interesting and well developed.
