Good Eggs

Autor Rebecca Hardiman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 mar 2022
When a home aide arrives to assist a rambunctious family at a crossroads, simmering tensions boil over in this "witty, exuberant debut" (People) that is an "absolute delight from start to finish" (Sarah Haywood, New York Times bestselling author)?perfect for fans of Where'd You Go, Bernadette and Evvie Drake Starts Over.

When Kevin Gogarty's eighty-three-year-old mother is caught shoplifting yet again, he has no choice but to hire a caretaker to keep an eye on her. Kevin, recently unemployed, is already at his wits' end tending to a full house while his wife travels to exotic locales for work, leaving him solo with his sulky, misbehaved teenaged daughter. Into the Gogarty fray steps Sylvia, the upbeat home aide, who appears at first to be their saving grace?until she catapults the Gogarty clan into their greatest crisis yet.

"Bracing, hilarious, warm" (Judy Blundell, New York Times bestselling author), Good Eggs is an irresistibly charming study in self-determination; the notion that it's never too late to start living; and the unique redemption that family, despite its maddening flaws, can offer.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Meet the Gogartys: cantankerous gran Millie (whose eccentricities include a penchant for petty-theft and reckless driving); bitter downtrodden stepson Kevin (erstwhile journalist whose stay-at-home parenting is pushing him to the brink); and habitually moody, disaffected teenage daughter Aideen.

When Gran's arrested yet again for shoplifting, Aideen's rebelliousness has reached new heights and Kevin's still not found work, he realises he needs to take action. With the appointment of a home carer for his mother, his daughter sent away to boarding school to focus on her studies and more time for him to reboot his job-hunt, surely everything will work out just fine. But as the story unfolds - and in the way of all the best families - nothing goes according to plan and as the calm starts to descend into chaos we're taken on a hilarious multiple-perspective roller-coaster ride that is as relatable as it is far-fetched.

Good Eggs is a heady cocktail of that warmth and wit of Marian Keyes, Caitlin Moran and TV's Derry Girls.
