Good to a Fault

I enjoyed Good to a Fault by Marina Endicott. She won the Commonwealth Writers' Prize 2009, Canada and the Caribbean. Clara Purdy has a car accident and blames herself so takes in to her home the family in the other car, who are homeless. They are all taken to hospital and they find that the mother, Lorraine, has cancer. The father takes off, leaving Clara responsible for the three children and their grandmother. It is an interesting scenario and there are many complications arising from this. There is a romantic interest as well. The situation continues for about a year and the future depends on whether Lorraine recovers and then what happens to Clara and the children. Recommended. 4/5
