I'm only about halfway through this wonderful book - did anyone else love it?

I think she has the most incredible ear for dialogue. Very funny.

I enjoyed it, because I used to live in Willesden and that brought it to life for me.

bakedpotatohoho · 16/12/2004 15:42

re white teeth: hated it too! just got stuck at the start.

I found it pretty hard going and lost interest towards the end.
