Thrilling and funny

Two hostile professors and their families become entangled in a web of fatal love affairs. The themes of racism and social inequality, especially in the university environment, are closely interwoven with the story. The novel is gripping and sometimes very funny, although it is really a family drama. A definite recommendation, although I found 'White Teeth' slightly better.
