How To Be Good by Nick Hornby
In this witty and thought-provoking novel, a London-based doctor named Katie Carr finds herself grappling with the complexities of morality and personal fulfillment. Her marriage to David, a cynical and often irritable columnist, is on the rocks, and her life takes an unexpected turn when David undergoes a sudden transformation into a do-gooder after meeting a spiritual healer. As David's newfound altruism disrupts their family dynamics, Katie is forced to confront her own beliefs about goodness, happiness, and the true meaning of being a "good" person. Through a blend of humor and introspection, the story explores the challenges of balancing personal desires with ethical responsibilities.
