Opis

Electra and Adam are proof that opposites attract. Electra is warm, passionate, and creative. She wants to have a baby. Adam is calm, reasonable, and very English. Enter the mother-in-law. She is cold, critical, and snobbish. She disapproves of her son's marriage, and then moves in with them. Will their relationship survive?

Recenzje

Vivacious Greek girl Electra and reserved Englishman Adam are chalk and cheese on paper. Nevertheless, their bond is unbreakable - until his mother arrives on the scene. With sizeable pinches of love, tragedy and humour, this is deliciously satisfying Cosmopolitan
