As Crocodile Soup opens, she thinks she has found \"the One\" - the enigmatic Eva, who serves coffee at the cafeteria in the museum where Gert works as a curator cataloging Egyptian artifacts. As Gert embarks on her hilarious and poignant pursuit of Eva, she looks back on her eccentric, childhood through a series of vivid and surreal flashbacks: her obsessive twin, Frank, with whom she communicates telepathically; her father, George, who vanished to Africa to salvage the family crocodile farm; her vain, neglectful mother, Jean; and the family ghost - a Victorian poet who haunts the attic. In a narrative studded with relentless humor and giddy self-deprecation, Julia Darling introduces an endearing cast of characters whose shared and wayward search for love is irresistible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ecco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42819112042576,"sku":"9780060090401B","price":10.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780060090401-l.jpg?v=1785874696","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/en-ca\/products\/crocodile-soup-9780060090401b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
