Zadie Smith

On beauty - USA Penguin Books 2005 - 445p. PB 18x11cm.

Set in New England mainly and London partly, on beauty concerns a pair of feuding families - The belseys and the kipps - and a clutch of doomed affairs. It puts low morals among high ideals and asks some searching questions about what life does to love. For the belseys and the kipps, the confusions - both personal and political - of our uncertain age are about to be brought close to home: right to the heart of family.
