Good to a Fault - A Novel

"There''s heartbreak, there''s joy, there are parts where you cry--and it''s very high quality writing. Well done!" -- Margaret Atwood "Unpretentious and affecting, with characters to remember and themes that linger and resound." -- Meg Wolitzer, New York Times bestselling author of The Ten-Year Nap Marina Endicott''s Good to a Fault wrings suspense and humor out of the everyday choices we make, revealing the delicate balance between sacrifice and self-interest, between doing good and being good. In the vein of the novels of Carol Shields and Ann Patchett, Good to a Fault is a "witty, wise. . . . [and] brilliantly paced" (Colm Toibín) delight.
