NW / Zadie Smith. - First edition . - London : Hamish Hamilton, 2012. - 295 pages ; 23 cm.
This is the story of a city. The north-west corner of a
city. Here you'll find guests and hosts, those with power
and those without it, people who live somewhere special
and others who live nowhere at all. And many people in
between. Every city is like this. Cheek-by-jowl living.
Separate worlds. And then there are the visitations: the
rare times a stranger crosses a threshold without
permission or warning, cause a disruption in the whole
system. Like the April afternoon a woman came to Leah
Hanwell's door, seeking help, disturbing the peace,
forcing Leah out of her isolation.
