About “How to Be Good”

Katie Carr, a doctor, believes she has earned her affair based on her own moral calculations. Her husband, David, is known as the self-styled Angriest Man in Holloway. However, when David unexpectedly becomes good—properly, maddeningly, and giving away all his money—Katie's calculations fall apart. She is forced to confront difficult questions about her actions and choices. The story explores her internal conflict and the shifting dynamics in her relationship. The novel was published in 2001 by Nick Hornby.
