Good Faith

Good Faith

Greed. Envy. Sex. Property. In her subversively funny and genuinely moving new novel, Jane Smiley nails down several American obsessions with the expertise of a master carpenter.

Forthright, likable Joe Stratford is the kind of local businessman everybody trusts, for good reason. But itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s 1982, and even in JoeÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s small town, values are in upheaval: not just property values, either. Enter Marcus Burns, a would-be master of the universe whose years with the IRS have taught him which rules are meant to be broken. Before long he and Joe are new best friendsÃ¢â‚¬â€and partners in an investment venture so complex that no one may ever understand it. Add to this JoeÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s roller coaster affair with his mentorÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s married daughter. The result is as suspenseful and entertaining as any of Jane SmileyÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s fiction.
