Still Going...

As much as I am enjoying White Teeth, it is taking me a while to get through it. I am almost halfway finished, with 9-year-old Magid just being sent off to live with his grandparents in Bengal. I am interested to see what kind of fallout ensues from this event, as Magid's father Samad made the decision to send his son off without consultant his wife Alsana. I know that I would not take kindly to this situation, and Alsana is a pretty fiery character. Hopefully I will finish this book in the next few days.
