Has anyone read
White Teeth by Zadie
Smith? I'm not even one-fifth of the way through, but it's an excellent read already. The most endearing character, by far, is a nineteen year old Jamaican girl by the name of
Clara Iphegenia Bowden.
What are your thoughts on the name? I'm just snobbish enough to think I could get away with using
Iphigenia in real life, most likely as a middle name, though I quite like
Iphigenia "Effy".
Clara I go back and forth on and always have - I love it one day, hate it the next.
Much obliged!
