How to be Good by Hornby, Nick

Filed under: Fiction | Buy on Amazon

This is not a feel good romance.

Told from the wife's perspective, the plot centers around a rocky marriage that's weathering the wife's affair and a husband's sudden psuedo-spiritual enlightenment. The husband tries to overcome the anger that defined his life before his awakening by changing the world, and the wife tries to figure out which husband she hates more, the angry jerk or the hippie Jesus who makes their kids give away their toys. It deeply probes modern relationships and what it really means to be good.
