Eggs is a quirky and moving novel about two very complicated, damaged
children. David has recently lost his mother to a freak accident, his
salesman father is constantly on the road, and he is letting his anger
out on his grandmother. Primrose lives with her unstable, childlike,
fortuneteller mother, and the only evidence of the father she never knew
is a framed picture. Despite their age difference (David is 9, Primrose
is 13), they forge a tight yet tumultuous friendship, eventually helping
each other deal with what is missing in their lives.
