Why read it?
1 author picked A Good House as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A work of historical fiction that begins in 1949 is a story that examines the complexities of characters who are fully fleshed out and believable.
Life rarely turns out the way we hopefully anticipate—there are failures, successes, deaths, illness, joys. There are so many occasions that all of us can look back at the small decisions, the small forks in the road that when taken and made affect the course of ours lives in ways we would have never thought possible. The characters in this book grab us and take us with them on the journey of those lives.
