Vinegar Girl by Anne Tyler

Vinegar Girl by Anne Tyler

William Shakespeare s The Taming of the Shrew retold asVinegar Girl by Anne Tyler, Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times bestseller
Anne Tyler s retelling of The Taming of the Shrew asks whether a thoroughly modern, independent woman like Kate would ever sacrifice herself for a man. Its answer is as individual, offbeat, and funny as Kate herself.
Kate Battista feels stuck. How did she end up running house and home for her eccentric scientist father and her uppity, pretty younger sister, Bunny? Plus, she s always in trouble at work her preschool charges adore her, but their parents don t always appreciate her unusual opinions and forthright manner.
Dr. Battista has his own problems. After years in the academic wilderness, he is on the verge of a breakthrough. His research could help millions. There s only one problem: his brilliant young lab assistant, Pyotr, is about to be deported. And without Pyotr, Dr. Battista s work may not ever be realized.
When Dr. Battista cooks up an outrageous plan that will enable Pyotr to stay in the country, he s relying as usual on Kate to help him. Kate is furious: this time he s really asking too much. Will she be able to resist the two men s touchingly ludicrous campaign to bring her around?
