Publisher Notes
Katie, a liberal, urban mother and doctor from North London, finds her life turned upside down when her husband, David, undergoes an outrageous spiritual transformation, in a hilarious novel about marriage, parenthood, religion, and morality. By the author of High Fidelity and About a Boy.
Media Reviews
"[A] cosy, knowing, very readable satire....But don't expect any particularly penetrating or challenging conclusions--let alone, as the title seems to promise, an instruction manual for the virtuous."
