DescriptionPenguin Press, 2005. 3rd printing. 446 pgs. . Later Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Trade Edition. Book summaryZadie Smith updates the plot of E.M. Forster's HOWARDS END to tell the comic story of two radically different British families: the arch conservatives Monty and Carline Kipps, and the bohemian, very liberal Belseys. Both men are art professors teaching at a college in Massachusetts where the two wives, unexpectedly, become close friends. Kiki Belsey, a former activist settled into middle age, is trying to decide whether she can stay married to the supremely difficult Howard. Then, when the Belsey son and Kipps daughter fall in love, the families settle into a culture war that threatens all each one holds dear. Named one of the 10 Best Books of 2005 by the New York Times.
