how to be good.....

ok, so the latest edition of the mm's goodwill bookclub is how to be good by nick hornby.......here is what amazon.com had to say about this 2001 novel

Kate, a doctor, wife and mother, is in the midst of a difficult decision: whether to leave or stay with her bitter, sarcastic husband David (who proudly writes a local newspaper column called "The Angriest Man in Holloway"). The long-term marriage has gone stale, but is it worth uprooting the children and the comfortable lifestyle? Then David meets a faith healer called Dr. Goodnews, and suddenly converts to an idealistic do-gooder: donating the children's computer to an orphanage, giving away the family's Sunday dinner to homeless people and inviting runaways to stay in the guest room (and convincing the neighbors to do likewise). as for my take on the prose so far.....i credit hornby for a better-than-expected female voice......i am generally surprised when male authors venture to put words in my mouth...so to speak......but hornby has always struck me as a pretty intuitive fellow.......i'll keep you posted.......
