Perfect Match

Product Description

In her second novel A Perfect Match" Sinead Moriarty tells the story of Emma Hamilton who embarks on the path to adopting a baby when she & her husband can't conceive. It manages to be both hilarious & incredibly moving is comparable to the writing of Marian Keyes in its ability to balancing of light & shade. After two years of being deafened by the TICKTOCK of her biological clock & 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 & 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 & they'll be fluent in no time) & 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
- & that perfection has very little to do with finding the perfect match.
