The Old Man's Birthday
ISBN: 9781509810260 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

A lovable rogue approaching his dotage, he has very little time for the high moral standards and rigid ideas of propriety espoused by his spinster daughter. Things get interesting when he invites his estranged son, the bright and lively Stephen, and his beautiful partner to his celebratory dinner. Over...
