waits for the exhaust fumes to fill his Cavalier Musketeer station wagon. Archie--working-class,
ordinary, a failed marriage under his belt--is calling it quits, the deciding factor being the flip of a
20-pence coin. When the owner of a nearby halal butcher shop (annoyed that Archie's car is
blocking his delivery area) comes out and bangs on the window, he gives Archie another chance at
life and sets in motion this richly imagined, uproariously funny novel.
Epic and intimate, hilarious and poignant, White Teeth is the story of two North London families--
one headed by Archie, the other by Archie's best friend, a Muslim Bengali named Samad Iqbal.
Pals since they served together in World War II, Archie and Samad are a decidedly unlikely pair.
Plodding Archie is typical in every way until he marries Clara, a beautiful, toothless Jamaican
woman half his age, and the couple have a daughter named Irie (the Jamaican word for "no
problem")
