Archie is married to an exuberant Jamaican woman and Samad to Alsana, a Bengali like him, with very clear ideas. But the most worrying thing is not being married to young women with devilish temperaments, nor the lack of money, nor the aftermath of the war; no, the hardest test is the relationship with their children, who, when carrying out their parents' failed projects, rebel: they rebel against British racism, against their own social class, even against their neighborhood, their origins, and their history. Thus, each in their own way, they are living proof of how difficult it is to escape a pre-determined destiny. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUndoubtedly one of the most outstanding young authors of Anglo-Saxon literature in recent years, the British Zadie Smith astonished critics and readers alike when, at just twenty-two years old, she revealed in this exceptional first novel an unprecedented ability to record human greatness and misery with an observant and detached eye, full of humor and wise irony.

Hapless veterans of World War II, Archie and Samad and their families become agents of England's irrevocable transformation. A second marriage to Clara Bowden, a beautiful, albeit tooth-challenged, Jamaican half his age, quite literally gives Archie a second lease on life, and produces Irie, a knowing child whose personality doesn't quite match her name (Jamaican for \"no problem\"). Samad's late-in-life arranged marriage (he had to wait for his bride to be born), produces twin sons whose separate paths confound Iqbal's every effort to direct them, and a renewed, if selective, submission to his Islamic faith.
