Customer Reviews

Lovely book!
I bought this book and thought lets see what all the fuss about mothers-in-law is about. It turned out to be a pleasant read and full of laughs that i read out parts to my husband and we laughed together at the humour that comes with cultural differences. I found the book very interesting, taught new things about different cultures/countries as well as a new twist to the classic mother/daughter-in-law war, which can sometimes be very funny. I'm waiting for my mother-in-law's first visit in a few weeks, so wish me better luck than Electra!
