How to Be Good
Nick Hornby
According to her own complex moral calculations, Katie Carr has earned her affair. She's a doctor and her husband David is the self-styled Angriest Man in Holloway. But when David suddenly becomes good - properly, maddeningly, give-away-all-his-money good - Katie's sums no longer add up, and she is forced to ask herself some very hard questions.

„Among them High Fidelity, About a Boy and How to be Good, to name just a few“
Wird als einer von Hornbys bekannten Romanen in der Aufzählung seiner Werke erwähnt
„Einer davon ist High Fidelity, um ein Junge zu verhalten und wie man gut ist.“
How to Be Good wird als einer von Hornbys Romanen aufgezählt, hier in der deutschen Übersetzung 'wie man gut ist'. Später erwähnt Hornby, dass dieser Roman von einer Frau erzählt wird – ein frühes Beispiel dafür, dass er aus einer weiblichen Perspektive schrieb, was ihm mehr Sicherheit für spätere Werke gab.

High Fidelity
Nick Hornby
Nick Hornby's first novel, an international bestseller and instantly recognized by critics and readers alike as a classic, helps to explain men to women, and men to men. Rob is good on music: he owns a small record shop and has strong views on what's decent and what isn't. But he's much less good on relationships. In fact, he's not at all sure that he wants to commit himself to anyone. So it's hardly surprising that his girlfriend decides that enough is enough.
