In the aftermath of a car accident caused by being absorbed in her own failings, Clara Purdy decides to be good to a fault and take the family also affected into her care. Coping with the exhaustion, fury, absurdity, and unexpected love that comes from opening her heart and home, but soon Clara starts to question her own motives: is she acting out of true goodness or of guilt . . . ?
A compassionate, funny, and fiercely intelligent novel, Good to a Fault looks at life and death through being good, being at fault, and finding some balance on the precipice.
"Marina Endicott is really funny, a sweet-natured but sharp-eyed and quick-tongued social observer (in the Jane Austen, Barbara Pym, Anne Tyler tradition) who can wring love, revulsion and hilarity from readers in a single page." -- The Globe and Mail
