About this event
Zadie Smith’s On Beauty is a compelling family saga set in a college town outside Boston, exploring the clashes and connections between two academic families. The novel skillfully portrays complex relationships filled with love, rivalry, and cultural conflicts. Smith’s rich character development brings to life a diverse cast, from the liberal and distant Howard to his strong-willed wife Kiki and their children, revealing their human flaws and strengths with empathy.
The narrative delves into themes of race, politics, and personal identity, reflecting social tensions that remain relevant today. Smith’s prose is eloquent and insightful, weaving humor and drama into a thoughtful examination of beauty beyond surface appearances. This richly layered story captivates readers with its depth and warmth, making On Beauty a modern classic that invites reflection on family, society, and what it means to be truly beautiful.
