Fresh, sharp and masterfully told, Hildys tale is as intoxicating as it is sobering.--People magazine A riveting novel in which an engaging and wildly irreverent woman is in complete denial--about herself, her drinking, and her love for a man shes known all her lifeAnn Learys The Good House tells the story of Hildy Good, who lives in a small town on Bostons North Shore. Hildy is a successful real-estate broker, good neighbor, mother, and grandmother. Shes also a raging alcoholic. Hildys family held an intervention for her about a year before this story takes place--if they invite you over for dinner, and its not a major holiday, she advises run for your life--and now she feels lonely and unjustly persecuted. She has also fooled herself into thinking that moderation is the key to her drinking problem.
