The Irish Gogarty family is in crisis. Eighty-three-year-old Millie has been caught shoplifting—again. Her recently unemployed son, Kevin, develops a wandering eye while his wife jet-sets around the world for her job. Meanwhile their daughter, Aideen, seems ready to explode with resentment and self-doubt. Enter American Sylvia—hired as a caretaker to Millie—who propels the Gogarty clan into a calamitous and hilarious international adventure that no one could have anticipated. This exuberant novel will have you rooting for the eccentric Gogartys, who, despite their foibles, are all "good eggs" in the end. (AG)
