Please Don't Eat the Daisies

Please Don't Eat the Daisies

The â€œrefreshing .Â .Â . laugh-out-loudâ€ #1 New York Times bestseller about life in the suburbs that was adapted into a classic film comedy (Kirkus Reviews).
Â
One day, Tony Awardâ€“winning playwright Jean Kerr packed up her four kids (and husband, Walter, one of Broadwayâ€™s sharpest critics), and left New York City. They moved to a faraway part of the world that promised a grassy utopia where daisies grew wild and homes were described as neo-gingerbread. In this collection of â€œwryly observantâ€ essays, Kerr chronicles her new life in this strange land called Larchmont (TheWashington Post).
Â
It sounds like blissâ€”no more cramped apartments and nightmarish after-theater cocktail parties where the martinis were never dry enough. Now she has her very own washer/dryer, a garden, choice seats at the hottest new third-grade school plays (low overhead but theyâ€™ll never recoup their losses), and a fresh new kind of lunacy.
Â
In Please Donâ€™t Eat the Daisies â€œJean Kerr cooks with laughing gasâ€ as she explores the everyday absurdities, anxieties, and joys of marriage, family, friends, home decorating, and maintaining a careerâ€”but this time with a garage! (Time).
