On Beauty is a 2005 novel by British author Zadie Smith. It takes its title from an essay by Elaine Scarry (On Beauty and Being Just). The story follows the lives of a mixed-race British/American family living in the United States. On Beauty addresses ethnic and cultural differences in both the U.S.A and the U.K., the nature of beauty, and the clash between liberal and conservative academic values. A short article in the Guardian has described it as a "transatlantic comic saga."
The novel was shortlisted for the 2005 Man Booker Prize on September 8, 2005. Smith won the Orange Prize for Fiction in June 2006.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Popped in the post as a RABCK to grant the wishlist request of the recipiant of one of my sockies

A granted wish! Thank you so much! I think Murple had some good reading on his way to Sweden.

I left this waiting in the shelf for far too long. I am not blown away but I think that is because for the last couple of years I didn't have the energy for these kind of epic family histories.

Murple says hi by the way. He is happier now then ever as the snow is coming.

A wishlist book for you. Keep it as long as you wish and do with it what you please after you read it :)

Thank you so much, Vilda, for sending this wishlist book my way :-) It arrived safely today. I'm very happy with it and look forward to reading it.
