Joe Stratford makes an honest living helping nice people buy and sell nice houses. Now that his not-very-amicable divorce is over, he is ready for his life to begin again. It's 1982 and Marcus Burns, Joe's new friend from New York, says the old rules are ready to be broken. But are his ideas about how to get rich too big and risky for Joe? And is Felicity - winning, free-spirited (and already married) - really the one he's been waiting for? From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "A Thousand Acres", "Good Faith" is a masterly novel about some very American seductions: money, sex and real estate.

Paperback. Etat : Good. 480 pages. Text lightly tanned Jane Smiley's Good Faith, a novel about greed and self-delusion set in the ec onomic boom of the early 1980s. Joe Stratford is an amiable, divorced real estat e agent in an unspoiled small town called Rollins Hills. He takes it in stride w hen a married female friend pursues a love affair with him; he is more suspiciou s when a high-rolling newcomer named Marcus Burns begins to influence the busine ss affairs of the men closest to Joe. Nevertheless, the promise of easy riches d raws Joe into one of Burns's real estate development schemes, and then, ominousl y, into gold trading. The steps by which a nice guy can be lured into betraying his principles are delineated so sharply in Good Faith that you wonder how Joe c annot see them. Although he never quite manages to understand what has happened to him, he's granted a moment of grace at the close of the novel, a second chanc e that has nothing to do with money, ambition, or the tarnished American Dream. Since we live with the legacy of the self-serving 1980s, Smiley's novel seems as timely as if it were set in the present. Opening a Jane Smiley novel is like sl ipping into a warm bath. Here are people we know, places where we grew up. But t he comforting, unassuming tone of her work allows Smiley incredible latitude as a writer, and her books are full of surprises. -Regina Marler, Amazon. N° de réf. du vendeur 6455ab
