  • ""In his boldest and bravest novel to date, author Nick Hornby enters the heart, mind, and soul of a woman who, confronted by her husband's sudden and extreme spirtual conversion, is forced to learn "how to be good" for better or worse ..." From the bookjacket."@en
  • "Katie Carr, dutiful doctor and nurturing mother, is married to a man who makes a living being bitter and sarcastic in his syndicated column. When he suddenly becomes transformed into an insufferable do-gooder, he makes it difficult for her to live with him and with herself."
  • "Katies Seitensprung ist eigentlich nicht das Problem, auch wenn sie ihrem Mann spontan einen Scheidungsantrag macht, der nicht angenommen wird. David, ein frustrierter unveröffentlichter Schriftsteller, hält das Banner der Familie hoch, zu deren Unterhalt er nur bescheiden mit giftigen Zeitungskolumnen beiträgt. Aber immerhin ist er ein recht ordentlicher Hausmann und ein eingespielter Ehepartner. Katies großes Problem ist DJ GoodNews. Der moraltriefende Heiler mit dem exotischen Augenbrauenpiercing und unbestreitbaren Heilerfolgen zieht zu Katie und David und krempelt die Familie um."
  • "Een welgesteld Londens echtpaar wil goed doen in de wereld en stuit daarbij tragi-komisch op de grens tussen weldoenerij en zelfbehoud."
  • "London GP Katie Carr always thought she was a good person. With her husband David making a living as 'The Angriest Man in Holloway', she figures she could put up with anything. Untill, that is, David meets DJ Goodnews and becomes a good person too. A far-too-good person who starts committing crimes an 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."
  • "Katie Carr is a good person. She recycles. She's against racism. She's a good doctor, a good mom, a good wife ... well, maybe not that last one, considering she's having an affair and has just requested a divorce via cell phone. But who could blame her? For years her husband's been selfish, sarcastic, and underemployed, writing the "Angriest Man in Holloway" column for their local paper. But now David's changed. He's become a good person, too?really good. He's found a spiritual leader. He has become kind, soft-spoken, and earnest. He's even got a homeless kid set up in the spare room. Katie isn't sure if this is a deeply-felt conversion, a brain tumor?or David's most brilliantly vicious manipulation yet. Because she's finding it more and more difficult to live with David?and with herself."@en
  • "Just when the pair is on the verge of divorce, English doctor Katie Carr's cynical husband, David, undergoes a spiritual awakening and invites a faith healer to live with them and their two children."@en
  • ""Katie Carr, a conscientious and clear-thinking doctor, has enough on her hands trying to deal with her marital problems, and she never dreams that every aspect of her life will soon be turned upside down by husband David's sudden conversion from snide cynicism to pure altruism."--Amazon.com."
