'Perhaps it will be all right, I thought. Perhaps, when I go to
work, there will be peace, and Theobald will stop jumping from foot
to foot, and Eva will no longer be beautiful.'Gert Hardcastle leads
a life of isolation cataloguing the Egyptian artefacts at a
northern museum - until the First Letter drops onto her desk.
That's the day she meets ballroom-dancing, iris-eyed Eva, and her
careful, stilted existence begins to unravel.As Gert begins her
strange courtship of Eva, she looks back on her eccentric, surreal
upbringing - the rambling house with its resident Victorian ghost,
her peculiar, telepathic twin, her father George with his family
crocodile farm, and her beautiful, neglectful mother Jean, whose
letters continue to disturb her peace. Award-winning novelist Julia
Darling's classic tale of the search for love, identity and
acceptance is funny, poignant and bizarre by turns, as Gert
gradually learns that her journey to the future must go via the
past.This commemorative edition of the long listed Orange Prize
(1998) Crocodile Soup is a celebration of the work and life of the
extraordinary woman that was Julia Darling.
