This book was given to me by a friend and with its strange title I wasn't sure it was for me. However, the story of this older man who 'helps' a much younger lady from Ukraine by marrying her and the drama that then follows had me laughing out loud and quickly turning the pages. I found myself going through all the emotions the two sisters did from frustration to sympathy. A very good book.
