'I am in a car park in Leeds when I tell my husband I don't want to be married to him any more.' London GP Katie Carr always thought she was a good person. With her husband David making a living as 'The Angriest man n Holloway', she figured she could put up with anything. Until, that is, David meets DJ Goodnews and becomes a good person too. A far-too-good person who starts committing crimes of charity like taking in the homeless and giving their kids' toys away. Suddenly Katie's feeling very bad about herself, and thinking that if charity begins at home, then maybe it's time to move . . . 'Pins you in your armchair and won't let go . . . How to be Good? How to be bloody marvellous, more like.' Mail on Sunday 'It does exactly what it says on the cover Hornby's prose is artful and effortless, his spiky wit as razored as a number-two cut.' Independent 'The writing is so funny, and the set-pieces so brilliant . . . Hornby's best book sine Fever Pitch.' Lynne Truss, The Times 'Hilarious, sophisticated, compulsive.' Sunday Times
