From BrillianceAudio:



In this mesmerizing, funny, chilling novel, the setting is a small town in the

1940s Midwest, the subject the heart of a wounded and ferociously moralistic

young woman, one of those implacable American moralists whose “goodness” is a

terrible disease. When she was still a child, Lucy Nelson had her alcoholic

failure of a father thrown in jail. Ever since then she has been trying to

reform the men around her, even if that ultimately means destroying herself in

the process. With his unerring portraits of Lucy and her hapless, childlike

husband, Roy, Roth has created an uncompromising work of fictional realism, a

vision of provincial American piety, yearning, and discontent that is at once

pitiless and compassionate.



From Wiki:



...While at Chicago, Roth met the novelist Saul Bellow, as well as Margaret

Martinson, who became his first wife. Their separation in 1963, along with

Martinson's death in a car crash in 1968, left a lasting mark on Roth's

literary output. Specifically, Martinson was the inspiration for female

characters in several of Roth's novels, including Lucy Nelson in When She Was

Good, and Maureen Tarnopol in My Life As a Man
