The Good House
by Ann Leary
I didn't read the back of this book before I picked it up to read this weekend. I decided to let it surprise me. And it did.
While Hildy Good, the narrator, may lie to herself, she's frank about what she knows of herself & the stories of those around her. Sometimes to the point of hilarity. Or to the point you may find yourself the victim of an empathy/sympathy cringe or two on her behalf. At some point, she may make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.
"The Good House" covers alcoholism, family & community relationships, and love with unexpected clarity.
