The Mother-in-Law

The Mother-in-Law

Summary

YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS BUT YOU CAN'T CHOOSE YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW.

Electra and Adam are living proof that opposites attract.
Electra is warm, passionate and creative. She wants to have a baby.
Adam is calm, reasonable and very English. He doesn't.
Enter the mother-in-law...
Cold, critical and snobbish, she disapproves of her son's marriage.
And then she moves in with them.
Will their relationship survive?

A darkly funny, insightful and cautionary tale that will make you question where your loyalties lie.

Reviews

  • 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
