When She Was Good, Paperback / softback Book

When She Was Good Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

When she was still a child, Lucy Nelson had her irresponsible, alcoholic father thrown in jail.

Since then, Lucy has become a furious adolescent - raging against middle-class life and provincial American piety - intent on reforming the men around her: especially her incompetent mama's boy of a husband, Roy.

As time rolls on, Lucy struggles to free herself of the terrible disappointment engendered by her father, and is forever yearning for the man he could never be.

It is with scalpel-like precision that Roth depicts the rage, the hatred and the ferocity of feeling that soon takes hold of Lucy's life.
