Summary
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 it's 1982, and even in Joe'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 friends-and partners in an investment venture so complex that no one may ever understand it. Add to this Joe's roller coaster affair with his mentor's married daughter. The result is as suspenseful and entertaining as any of Jane Smiley's fiction

I thought this was a very enjoyable read. A good story with interesting characters and a excellent reader who was easy to listen to.

Jane Smiley, as far as I can tell, wrote one good book--A Thousand Acres--which is a masterpiece. This book, is badly written drivel as are most of the other books by her I have read.

Jane SMiley is the number one author today. Nobody can tell the human or equine story like she can. In her novel Good Faith she educates her readers on the dealings of real estate and the human condition. Her writing is real and alive. The world Smiley creates is so bright and interesting. Another gem form Jane SMiley.
