«How to be Good» is the contemporary fiction novel by Nick Hornby, published by Penguin Books in paperback (256 pages, in English).
Dr Katie Carr justifies her love affair with her own moral calculations; her husband David is the self-proclaimed angriest man in Holloway. When David becomes disconcertingly good and gives away his money, Katie must question her values. A bittersweet satire on marriage, parenthood and the meaning of being good.
The novel was originally published in 2001, was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and reached number one in sales in the UK and Ireland.
For adult readers who enjoy contemporary fiction and British humor; also a good choice for book clubs.
