Description
Katie Carr is a conscientious GP struggling to maintain her moral compass while trapped in a marriage to David, the self-proclaimed Angriest Man in Holloway. When Katie's infidelity threatens to unravel her carefully constructed life, David undergoes a spiritual awakening that transforms him into an idealistic do-gooder—one who donates the family's possessions to strangers, invites the homeless to dinner, and forces his bewildered wife to confront what it truly means to be good. As David's radical generosity spirals into increasingly absurd schemes, Katie finds herself caught between guilt, exasperation, and an unexpected reckoning with her own values and marriage. Nick Hornby's witty and compassionate exploration of modern morality asks the deceptively simple question: how can we be good, and what does that actually cost? The result is a darkly hilarious yet deeply moving portrait of a marriage in crisis, where the pursuit of virtue becomes as complicated and messy as real life itself.
