On Beauty
Smith, Zadie
Howard Belsey is an Englishman abroad, an academic teaching in a college town in New England. Married young, thirty years later he is struggling to revive his love for his African American wife Kiki. After Howard has a disastrous affair with a colleague, his sensitive older son escapes to England for the holidays, and defies everything the Belseys represent by going to work for a right-wing academic.
