WINNER OF THE ORANGE PRIZE FOR FICTION

 

SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE

 

From the acclaimed author of Swing Time, White Teeth and Grand Union, discover a brilliantly funny and deeply mving story about love and family

 

Why do we fall in love with the people we do? Why do we visit our mistakes on our children? What makes life truly beautiful?

 

Set between New England and London, 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.
