'Lots of tears and even more laughs ... a confident debut' Irish Times

Product Description
After two years of being deafened by the TICKTOCK of her biological clock and tormented by Mother Nature's refusal to grant her a baby, Emma Hamilton decides to go for the instant solution: finding a Russian baby in need of a home.
But Emma hasn't reckoned on the route to adoption being so complicated. Between proving that she's fit to be a mother (by inventing an unblemished past and discovering an unsuspected talent for housekeeping), driving her long-suffering husband insane with madcap schemes to make them the perfect would-be parents (a few Russian verbs a night and they'll be fluent in no time), and tripping over red tape every step of the way (who knew social workers could be so terrifying?) Emma finds out that adoption is far from the easy option - and that perfection has very little to do with finding the perfect match.

I read this book from cover to cover in two days, and could not put it down yesterday morning, resulting in my son being late for school!!!!
I would definitely recommend this book,it has a definite feel-good factor about it, true escapism from the very stressful 'read world', coupled with humour, and appropriately reflects the intrusion of privacy into couples' lives which is intrinsic to the adoption process!
Had a nice ending too....
I just love her books. This is the second in the Hamilton trilogy. In the first book we saw Emma and James trying for baby, going through all the treatments and in this... Read more
