A Review by Maggie:
Hildy Good is a recovering alcoholic and a real estate agent
in a fictional New England town. She is a descendant of a witch that was hung
in Salem and because of this connection she claims to be clairvoyant and many
believe she is--- However, Hildy is fooling everyone is town with her
supernatural skills and her continued sobriety (not). Hildy knows the townspeople well and is successful with her business as
she has lived here her entire life. When
she sells an expensive home to beautiful
newcomer Rebecca McAllister the two form a bond of friendship which proves a
downfall for both. This book is not a page turner but enjoyable and the writer does well with her
description of small New England towns and
she creates interesting quirky
characters. I liked Ann Leary’s memoir
An Innocent, A Broad very
much and that is why I picked up this book.
The Good House is being made into a movie with Meryl Streep
playing Hildy .
