Pulitzer Prize winner and American master Anne Tyler brings us an inspired, witty and irresistible contemporary take on one of Shakespeare's most beloved comedies. Kate Battista feels stuck. How did she end up running house and home for her eccentric scientist father and uppity, pretty younger sister Bunny? Plus, she's always in trouble at work - her pre-school charges adore her, but their parents don't always appreciate her unusual opinions and forthright manner. Dr. Battista has other problems. After years out in the academic wilderness, he is on the verge of a breakthrough. His research could help millions. There's only one problem: his brilliant young lab assistant, Pyotr, is about to be deported. And without Pyotr, all would be lost. 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....

Superb roman med mycket humor. Men så har heller Anne Tyler aldrig kommit att göra mig besviken. Fem stjärnor. Läs den!

Anne Tyler tolkar här Shakespeares: Så tuktas en argbigga på ett modernt sätt och som vanligt lyckas Anne Tyler med det hon skriver. Boken är rappt skriven, fylld med härliga karaktärer och med en både knasig och underhållande handling. Kanske ändå inte Anne Tylers bästa bok, men hon har skrivit så pass många bra romaner att det kan vara svårt att rangordna dem.
Dessutom här i en fantastiskt bra uppläsning av Cecilia Walton Agrell! Jag hoppas att fler böcker av Anne Tyler kommer som ljudbok så småningom.
Mitt slutbetyg blir, en 5:a! Kan varmt rekommenderas!
