NW (novel)
''NW'' is a 2012 novel by British author Zadie Smith. It takes its title from the NW postcode area in North-West London, the setting of the novel. The novel is experimental and follows four different characters living in London, shifting between first and third person, stream-of-consciousness, screenplay-style dialogue and other narrative techniques in an attempt to reflect the polyphonic nature of contemporary urban life. It was nominated for the 2013 Women's Prize for Fiction.
==Plot summary==
Set in the northwest of London, England, four locals—Leah Hanwell, Natalie (née Keisha) Blake, Felix Cooper, and Nathan Bogle—try to make adult lives outside of Caldwell, the working-class council estate where they grew up. While Leah has not managed to venture far from her childhood location, her best friend Natalie, now a successful, self-made barrister, lives in an affluent neighborhood in a Victorian-style house. Despite their friendship and history, the two women find that they are very different from each other socioeconomically. Meanwhile, a chance encounter brings Felix and Nathan together. Nathan, a homeless addict, attacks and kills Felix, whose optimistic journey out of drug abuse and economic hardship is thus abruptly ended. In the final scene, Leah and Natalie work together to phone the police and report Nathan—a former schoolmate of theirs—as a suspect in Felix's murder.
