İyi Bir Hayat

Alan Querry has not had the opportunity to visit his daughter Vanessa since she went to America for her doctorate, instead working as a successful contractor in England. He has been busy expanding his business in . Her other daughter, Helen, an ambitious music producer in London, and Vanessa became estranged over time, and the two siblings - but especially Vanessa, who now teaches philosophy - could never fully get over their parents' divorce and their mother's death. When they learn that Vanessa, who struggles with intermittent depression, may be on the verge of a serious crisis, Alan and Helen realize it's time for the visit they've been putting off. He will face some vital questions in his own way: Why does the struggle to live require more effort from some people?

Is happiness a blessing distributed unequally within the family, or can a person learn to be happy? How to strike a balance between living life and reflecting on life?

How should a good life be lived if, as one of Vanessa's favorite philosophers says, "the only serious enterprise is living"?

Today's While James Wood, one of the most important critics, weaves his elegant and sensitive novel, A Good Life, around these questions, he also presents a portrait of America consisting of sometimes funny and sometimes unusual impressions from the eyes of an Old Worlder.
