'A thoroughly modern love story' Guardian, Book of the Year Kate Battista is stuck. How did she end up running house and home for her eccentric scientist father and infuriating younger sister Bunny? Dr Battista has other problems. His brilliant young lab assistant, Pyotr, is about to be deported. And without Pyotr, his new scientific breakthrough will fall through... When Dr Battista cooks up an outrageous plan that will enable Pyotr to stay in the country, he's relying - as usual - on Kate to help him. Will Kate be able to resist the two men's touchingly ludicrous campaign to win her round? Anne Tyler's brilliant retelling of The Taming of the Shrew asks whether a thoroughly modern woman like Kate would ever sacrifice herself for a man. The answer is as surprising as Kate herself. **ANNE TYLER HAS SOLD OVER 8 MILLION BOOKS WORLDWIDE** 'Anne Tyler takes the ordinary, the small, and makes them sing' Rachel Joyce 'She knows all the secrets of the human heart' Monica Ali 'A masterly author' Sebastian Faulks 'I love Anne Tyler. I've read every single book she's written' Jacqueline Wilson

Han lever ensam med sina döttrar och Kate har blivit mer som en fru, eller hushållerska, han förlitar sig helt på sin äldsta dotter vad det gäller allt i vardagen. Pyotr är en viktig faktor i de experiment Battista håller på med och han har stort behov av att få ha honom kvar. Nu vill han att Kate ska ordna upp även ... Läs hela recensionen

A joy to experience. * Literary Review * A new Anne Tyler book is always a treat. The terrifically talented author is the latest to tackle Shakespeareand our favourite so far. * Good Housekeeping * I loved Kate and Pyotr and the way they discover the oversized, tender, irreverent relationship that fits them... It is joyful It's knockabout comedy at its best, genuinely laugh-out-loud funny and, indeed, may be her funniest book to date * Daily Mail * The worst wedding in history ... vintage Anne Tyler * The Times *
