In Nick Hornby’s How To Be Good, Katie Carr is certainly trying to be. That’s why she became a GP. That’s why she cares about Third World debt and the homeless, and struggles to raise her children with a conscience. It’s also why she puts up with her husband David, self-styled "Angriest Man in Holloway". 

          But one fateful day, she finds herself in a Leeds car-park, having just slept with another man. What she doesn’t yet realize is that her Fall from Grace is just the first step on a spiritual journey more torturous than the M25 at rush-hour. Because, prompted by his wife’s actions, David is about to stop being Angry. He’s about to become Good–not Guardian-reading, organic-food-eating good, but really Good.
