Eden Rock Country Club is a grand New England institution, a lush haven of leisure and cocktails, where gossip and intrigue lurk discreetly behind a veil of old-world propriety. But one Fourth of July, a flock of geese descends on the club''s manicured lawns; never fond of outsiders, the Eden Rock denizens find these new guests distinctly unwelcome. When Charles Lambert, a bond trader with a strong portfolio but a weak golf game, accidentally kills a goose with a wayward drive, he sets in motion a series of events that will leave the club and its members changed forever. His wife, Madeline, must face the mutterings of other members about the state of her marriage-and his sanity. Meanwhile, their daughter, an animal rights activist, mounts a quixotic campaign to make the club go vegan, much to the annoyance of Vita, a talented, obsessive chef who has her own plans for the geese. A deftly observed social comedy, ADDLED is a rich and riotous story of old money, new ideas, and the power of passion to disrupt even the most orderly of worlds. | Addled by Joeann Hart Hardcover | Indigo Chapters Books > Fiction > Sports P10140, Joeann Hart<

Buch, Hardcover, It's the 4th of July weekend and Charles Lambert is about to tee off and, he hopes, shake the doldrums that have been dogging him all year. But alas, his errant shot knocks out one of the geese that have taken up residence on the grounds, and sets in motion a series of events that will, by Labor Day, leave the club members and staff changed forever. Charles is sent into a tailspin of a midlife crisis, his wife Madeline is soon abandoned by her tennis 'friends' who don't want to deal with her husband's oddities, and their militantly vegan daughter Phoebe returns from college hell-bent on changing the world, one country club at a time. Then there's Gerard, the uptight club manager trying to rein in both the geese and his unruly membership, and finally there's Vita, the club chef, who regards every plate of food like a work of art.
