Separate worlds. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e And then there are the visitations: the rare times a stranger crosses a threshold without permission or warning, causing a disruption in the whole system.

From private houses to public parks, at work and at play, their London is a complicated place, as beautiful as it is brutal, where the thoroughfares hide the back alleys and taking the high road can sometimes lead you to a dead end. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Depicting the modern urban zone - familiar to town-dwellers everywhere - Zadie Smith's \u003ci\u003eNW\u003c\/i\u003e is a quietly devastating novel of encounters, mercurial and vital, like the city itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eZadie Smith's new book, \u003ci\u003eGrand Union\u003c\/i\u003e, is on sale 10\/8\/2019.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49517086245137,"sku":"GOR006560703","price":7.69,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49552306471185,"sku":"GOR004614087","price":9.39,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49890863939857,"sku":"CIN1594203970G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50228786168081,"sku":"CIN1594203970VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50393125880081,"sku":"CIN1594203970A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51158034841873,"sku":"GOR011243690","price":13.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1594203970.jpg?v=1751245171","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-de\/products\/nw-buch-zadie-smith-9781594203978","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
