Ah! I am glad you enjoyed it so much, but as someone who read it with Howards End, I have to say I found it really disappointing. Not exactly derivative, but I did sort of wonder why I was reading this and not Forster.
I really loved White Teeth, though. I think that kind of brash exuberance is better for Smith. (A less depressing Kureishi, maybe? IDK.)
