The Good House
by Ann Leary
I really, really enjoyed this in audiobook form, narrated by Mary Beth Hurt. She was almost perfect for the voice of Hildy Good. Her Frank had me thinking of Red Green, but I love Red Green, so it wasn't terrible.
Hildy is a great example of a complicated, unreliable narrator. There's some foreshadowing that, combined with Hildy's alcoholism, really left me guessing. She was such a great character because she seemed fairly real. She was funny, selfish, vulnerable, strong, sad, disappointing, sweet, and endlessly frustrating. The side characters were all people we know in real life, especially if you've ever lived in a small town. Frank was the best.
