Publicada en 1967, 'Cuando ella era buena' es la segunda novela de Philip Roth. Ambientada en una pequeña ciudad del Medio Oeste en los años cuarenta, la novela narra la historia de Lucy Nelson, una joven moralista cuya bondad se convierte en una terrible enfermedad. Lucy, marcada por un padre en la cárcel, intenta reformar a los hombres que la rodean, incluso si esto significa su propia destrucción. Con un retrato infalible de Lucy y su infantil marido Roy, Roth crea una obra intransigente y una visión crítica sobre la piedad.

Philip Milton Roth was an American novelist and short-story writer. Roth's fiction—often set in his birthplace of Newark, New Jersey—is known for its intensely autobiographical character, for philosophically and formally blurring the distinction between reality and fiction, for its "sensual, ingenious style" and for its provocative explorations of Jewish and American identity. He first gained attention with the 1959 short story collection Goodbye, Columbus, which won the U.S. National Book Award for Fiction. Ten years later, he published the bestseller Portnoy's Complaint. Nathan Zuckerman, Roth's literary alter ego, narrates several of his books. A fictionalized Roth narrates some of his others, such as the alternate history The Plot Against America.
