Synopsis

<p><b>'A thoroughly modern love story' <i>Guardian</i>, Book of the Year</b> <p><b>Kate Battista is stuck.</b> <p>How did she end up running house and home for her eccentric scientist father and infuriating younger sister Bunny? <p>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... <p>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? <p>Anne Tyler's brilliant retelling of <i>The Taming of the Shrew </i>asks whether a thoroughly modern woman like Kate would ever sacrifice herself for a man. The answer is as surprising as Kate herself. <p><b>**ANNE TYLER HAS SOLD OVER 8 MILLION BOOKS WORLDWIDE**</b> <p><b>'Anne Tyler takes the ordinary, the small, and makes them sing' Rachel Joyce <p>'She knows all the secrets of the human heart' Monica Ali </b> <p><b>'A masterly author' Sebastian Faulks</b> <p><b>'I love Anne Tyler.
