Terrific Mother: Faber Stories
ISBN: 9780571351831 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Adrienne is living in a puritanical age, when the best compliment a childless woman can get is: 'You'd make a terrific mother'.

What follows is Adrienne's retreat from life and her attempt to return to it. Her sharp scepticism about the people around her is achingly funny. Yet beyond derision there is forgiveness and something along the lines of love
