How to Be Good
Author(s): Nick Hornby
A wise and hilarious novel from the bestselling author of Funny Girl, High Fidelity, and About a Boy. A brutally truthful, compassionate novel about the heart, mind, and soul of a woman who, confronted by her husband s sudden and extreme spiritual conversion, is forced to learn how to be good whatever that means, and for better or worse Katie Carr is a good person sort of. For years her husband s been selfish, sarcastic, and underemployed. But now David s changed. He s become a good person, too really good. He s found a spiritual leader. He has become kind, soft-spoken, and earnest. Katie isn t sure if this is deeply felt conversion, a brain tumor or David s most brilliantly vicious manipulation yet. Because she s finding it more and more difficult to live with David and with herself."
