A wise and hilarious novel from the bestselling author ofย Funny Girl, High Fidelity, andย About a Boy.
A brutally truthful, compassionate novel about the heart, mind, and soul of a woman who, confronted by her husbandโs sudden and extreme spiritual conversion, is forced to learn โhow to be goodโโwhatever that means, and for better or worse.
Katie Carr is a good person . . . sort of. For years her husbandโs been selfish, sarcastic, and underemployed.ย ย
But now Davidโs changed. Heโs become a good person, tooโreally good. Heโs found a spiritual leader. He has become kind, soft-spoken, and earnest. Katie isnโt sure if this is deeply felt conversion, a brain tumorโor Davidโs most brilliantly vicious manipulation yet. Because sheโs finding it more and more difficult to live with Davidโand with herself.
