Smith Zadie

Opis

Die komischen und herzerwärmenden Geschicke zweier rivalisierender Familien aus den USA und Großbritannien, die in eine große Krise geraten, als sich der Sohn der einen in die Tochter der anderen Familie verliebt.

Recenzje

The tale of a mixed-race British American family in conflict with another family of opposing sensibilities. As with all Smith's work, it's smart, funny and a masterclass in the complexities of identity Luan Goldie Guardian
