What a Great book! It really made me think about what it means to be truly good...

The story's main character is a female doctor and self-declared "good person", married to an angry husband. Their marriage is about to fail when he undergoes a radical change and becomes a truly good person - so good in fact, that it puts a "reversed" strain on their marriage: when is being good simply too much of a good thing?

I consider myself to be a reasonably "good person" - at least I found myself symphatizing with Katie, the main character - but reading the book raised many interesting dilemmas: is a doctor good by default? (I think not), can one be "good" and still accept to be middle-class or have more earthly posessions than for example a homeless?

The story is well told, and although clearly fictional, it could apply metaphorically to real marriages or relationships.

A must read!
