Crocodile Soup

by The Estate of Julia Darling

Gert Hardcastle is thirty-something and unlucky in love. She is also estranged from her mother, Jean. As CROCODILE SOUP opens, she thinks she has found “The One” – the enigmatic Eva, who serves coffee in the cafeteria in the museum where Gert works as a curator. As Gert embarks on her hilarious and poignant pursuit of Eva, she looks back on her eccentric childhood and her relationship with Jean through a series of vivid and surreal flashbacks.

In a lyrical narrative studded with relentless humour, CROCODILE SOUP introduces an irresistible cast of characters whose shared story is unforgettable.
