Tuesday, January 18, 2022: Good Eggs: A Novel by Rebecca Hardiman ©2021, 336 pages. It is the story of three generations of the Gogartys, a boisterous Irish family living in Dun Laoghaire, Dublin, whose simmering tensions boil over when an American home aide enters the picture. Kooky octogenarian Millie is saddled with a home caregiver to help curtail her shoplifting habit just as her hell-raising granddaughter Aideen is banished to a boarding school. Each falls prey to a questionable new friend, careening toward calamity—and each other. A witty, exuberant debut by a former magazine editor who lives in NJ with her husband and three children.
