About This Item
Synopsis
When She Was Good (1967) is Philip Roth's only novel with a female protagonist, Lucy Nelson. In this funny and chilling novel, the setting is a small town in the 1940s Midwest, and the subject is the heart of a wounded and ferociously moralistic young woman, one of those implacable American moralists whose "goodness" is a terrible disease. When she was still a child, Lucy Nelson had her alcoholic failure of a father thrown in jail.
