From the acclaimed author of Swing Time, White Teeth and Grand Union, discover a brilliantly funny and deeply moving story about love and family.
Why do we fall in love with the people we do and why do we visit our mistakes on our children? What makes life truly beautiful?
Set between New England and London, On Beauty showcases a pair of feuding families - the Belseys and the Kipps - and a series 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 quandries - both personal and political - of our uncertain age are about to be brought close to home: right to the heart of family. A lovely gift.
'Ambitious, hugely impressive, beautifully observed' Guardian.
