Washington PostWhy 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.
