These twin novellas chronicle the difficult choices that reshape the lives of two very different families. In Ordinary Love, Jane Smiley focuses on a woman’s infidelity and the indelible effects it leaves on her children long after her departure. Good Will portrays a father who realizes how his son has been affected by his decision to lead a counterculture life and move his family to a farm. As both stories unfold, Smiley gracefully raises the questions that confront all families with the characteristic style and insight that has marked all of her work.
