Synopsis
George's father died a martyr's death, and in her small way his mother is a saint. But George is more pragmatic. He believes that life is only worth living if it is happy, and he will not believe his life is destined to be anything other than pleasant. But then his daughter is born deformed.

Book Description
KEY POINTS: * A novel of parental despair, for anyone who's ever had children (or for that matter, been a child). * Reissued to coincide with the publication of Europa, which will be a Booker entry. * 'A one-sitting book that reverberates in the mind long after the final page' - Daily Mail. * 'Far funnier than any plot summary could hope to suggest, Goodness negotiates the highwire between tragedy and farce with unerring dexterity' - Independent on Sunday.
