Addled — JoeAnn Hart

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.
