Reta Winters is a writer of light fiction whose life takes a turn when her eldest daughter drops out of university to sit on a street corner with a sign reading «Goodness». Her attempt to understand that renunciation gives way to a lucid and often amusing meditation on society, hope, and lives that seem ordinary.
The novel was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and the Orange Prize for Fiction, and won the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize in 2003.
An ideal read for book clubs and for those seeking literary fiction about family life and everyday silences.
