You just know a book titled green eyes delivers all the good stuff—seduction, envy, Southern charm with all the accompanying treachery (Scarlett O’Hara had them); and shopping. You heard right—we did say shopping—in Darby Cooper’s case, for the perfect human studhorse, a man who can pass along the gene that gets you into grad school along with the prettiest emerald orbs in Louisiana. Who wouldn’t want that for her kid? If you're a fan of Too Jewish, you’ll remember Darby as the smart, sad kid from the royally messed-up Cooper family, the only daughter of a Holocaust escaper. Now that it's the 70’s, she’s grown up to be a hoot—still shy and depressed, still baffled and reclusive, in truth still pretty much a trainwreck, but for all that, a woman who knows her way around a sardonic turn of phrase and who dares to become a single mom before it's cool. The good news? Meet Darby’s precious baby daughter, precocious, green-eyed Honor. And the bad? Oy vey! That’s in the book too. It’s the perfect read for any woman who’s ever felt ignored, rebellious, under-appreciated, and a little bit green-eyed—hmmm, shall we just say any contemporary woman? Who in particular will like it: Those who enjoyed the movie “Trainwreck” and perhaps identify a bit too much; fans of Lena Dunham and other screwed-up outsider heroines; everyone who loves New Orleans! And women (men too) partial to dark humor, Jewish fiction, family dramas, and slyly humorous literary fiction.
