Présentation de l'éditeur
According to her own complex moral calculations, Katie Carr has earned her affair. She's a doctor, after all, and doctors are decent people, and on top of that, her husband David is the self-styled Angriest Man in Holloway. But when David suddenly becomes good - properly, maddeningly, give-away-all-his-money good - Katie's sums no longer add up, and she is forced to ask herself some very hard questions. Nick Hornby's brilliant new novel, a No. 1 bestseller in the UK and Ireland, offers a painfully funny account of modern marriage and parenthood, and asks that most difficult of questions: what does it mean to be good?
Quatrième de couverture
Katie Carr, doctor (and self-declared "good person"), has just had an affair. It's really not her fault - she is, after all, married to David ; angry, cynical, negative (though undeniably funny) and a real pain to live with. But then David meets DJ GoodNews, astonishingly effective faith healer and do-gooder of the unbearably smug kind. And now David is good. Too good actually - "a liberal's worst nightmare", he starts to put Henry into practice, giving away their kids' toys, reaching out to the hopeless and himself in a very personal and, for Katie, disturbing way. It seems to her that if charity begins at home, it may be time to move...
