{"product_id":"crocodile-soup-9780060090401","title":"Crocodile Soup","description":"Gert Hardcastle is thirty-something and unlucky in love. She is also estranged from her mother. As \u003cem\u003eCrocodile Soup\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ecco Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060090401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.28w x 0.85d","brand":"Julia Darling","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44033744797877,"sku":"9780060090401","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_50c54cc4-2bd8-48bb-9c29-2c7a6cbbe6ff.jpg?v=1713885527","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/crocodile-soup-9780060090401","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
