«How to Be Good» is Nick Hornby's satirical novel, published by Penguin in paperback (256 pages, in English).
Katie Carr is a GP in London and believes her affair is justified because she puts up with David, the self-proclaimed 'angriest man in Holloway'. When, after meeting DJ Goodnews, David decides to become good in an extreme way, giving away money and taking in strangers, Katie no longer knows whether she wants to be good and happy or to carry on with that unbearable goodness.
How to Be Good was longlisted for the Booker Prize in 2001. The work was originally published in 2001 and this edition is from 2002.
For readers of contemporary British fiction and satirical humour, particularly those who enjoy portraits of couples and everyday moral dilemmas.
