Katie Carr has built a life around good intentions—she's a GP, she worries about global poverty and homelessness, she tries to raise ethical children. So she tolerates her perpetually angry husband David, the self-proclaimed Angriest Man in Holloway. Then one afternoon in a Leeds parking lot changes everything. Her infidelity sets off an unexpected chain reaction: David abandons his rage and pursues genuine goodness—not the trendy, politically correct kind, but something rooted in Gospel values. In modern London, this proves just as challenging as it was in ancient times. Nick Hornby's darkly comic novel explores what happens when two people attempt radical transformation, and whether modern life allows room for actual virtue.
