A disgraced cop stands amid the broken shards of his life, unable to move forward into a future that holds no place for him. Moral panic spreads like contagion through the upper echelons of New York City - and the cancelled people look disconcertingly like the rest of us.

On Beauty is the story of an interracial family living in the university town of Wellington, Massachusetts, whose misadventures in the culture wars—on both sides of the Atlantic—serve to skewer everything from family life to political correctness to the combustive collision between the personal and the political. Full of dead-on wit and relentlessly funny, this tour de force confirms Zadie Smith’s reputation as a major literary talent.","brand":"BOOKSITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32039794475123,"sku":"9780141019451","price":261.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/products\/on-beauty-zadie-smith-15208219148403.jpg?v=1637785092"},{"product_id":"9780141036595","title":"NW","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom private houses to public parks, at work and at play, their city is brutal, beautiful and complicated.
