|---|
"David is the angriest man in Holloway - he's angry about little old ladies on busses, he's angry about theatres and the little icecreams they sell. His long suffering wife has had about just as much as she can take of his continual sarcasm and starts talkig about divorce. The David meets GoodNews, an eccentric man with a capacity to heal and a will to change the world. First stop, David, and then children Tom and Molly. Dr Carr (wife and narrator) doesn't belive in GoodNews, doesn't want a homeless ald living in her house or her lfie turned upside down. She likes the new smug husband even less than she liked the old cynical one. This is a clever, insightful book, it will make you laugh and it will make you wonder."
