Kate Battista is frustrated. How is it that she is a good housekeeper for her eccentric father and looks after her younger sister Bunny, who has nothing but mischief on her mind? There's always trouble at her kindergarten job too. Professor Battista has other worries. He has been doggedly devoting himself to his research work for decades and is now on the verge of a breakthrough. That is, if his brilliant assistant Pyotr is not expelled from the country. The Belarusian's residence permit is about to expire. When Professor Battista hatches a plan to keep Pyotr in America, he relies on his older daughter as always. But Kate sees red - and Pyotr's clumsy courtship doesn't make things any better at first. A wonderfully turbulent comedy about a manipulative father, a daughter who puts up a fierce fight and a groom with whom the bride falls in love against her will in the end.Translated from the American by Sabine Schwenk Original title: Vinegar Girl Original publisher: Hogarth Hardcover with dust jacket, 224 pages, 13.5 x 21.5 cm ISBN: 978-3-8135-0655-6 € 19.99 [D] | € 20.60 [A] | CHF 26.90* (* recommended retail price) Publisher: Knaus Published: 11.10.2016
