You can’t get around Kate Battista as easily as all that?

In this engaging audiobook, Kate Battista finds herself feeling trapped as she manages her eccentric scientist father’s household and her beautiful younger sister, Bunny. At work, while adored by her pre-school students, Kate often clashes with the adults due to her straightforward opinions. Her father’s research is on the brink of a major breakthrough, but there’s a pressing issue: his brilliant lab assistant, Pyotr, is facing deportation. Dr. Battista devises an outrageous plan to keep Pyotr in the country, and he turns to Kate for help. Initially furious, Kate wrestles with her feelings as Dr. Battista and Pyotr embark on a comical mission to win her over.

Anne Tyler’s retelling of The Taming of the Shrew explores whether a modern, independent woman like Kate would make sacrifices for a man. This audiobook, featuring a captivating narration, brings to life Kate’s unique, offbeat journey filled with humor and tenderness. Discover how she navigates her relationships while maintaining her individuality, all through Tyler’s effortlessly crafted prose.
