Why do we visit our mistakes on our children? What makes life truly beautiful?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSet in New England mainly and London partly, \u003ci\u003eOn Beauty\u003c\/i\u003e concerns a pair of feuding families—the Belseys and the Kippses—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 Kippses, the confusions—both personal and political—of our uncertain age are about to be brought close to home: right to the heart of family.","brand":"Zadie Smith","offers":[{"title":"Penguin Canada |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2006-09-12","offer_id":44151461183743,"sku":"9780143017639","price":22.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_43f7ec38-bc76-48e1-b96d-50937c05293f.jpg?v=1684342242","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9780143017639","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
