About this book
Katie Carr is a doctor, a mother and a wife who has always thought of herself as a reasonably good person. When her habitually angry husband embraces a startling new generosity, her assumptions about marriage, responsibility and virtue begin to unravel. Nick Hornby's comic novel explores the awkward distance between good intentions and everyday family life. This is the orange-and-cream Penguin Celebrations edition.
