Vinegar Girl by Anne Tyler

image from LibraryThing

Kate is trying to do the right thing - but her life just isn't what she expected.  Instead she is stuck in a job she doesn't really like, in a house that she has become the caretaker of watching over her father and her younger sister who seems to be on the verge of a bigger life. 

And then her father comes up with an idea...his research assistant will soon be deported unless Kate is willing to marry him.

What?!  Kate is taken aback at her father's request and both repelled and swept up in Pytor's kindness.

This modern telling of the Taming of the Shrew has Tyler's familiar touches - a slight bewilderment at the situation and an unexpected kindness in the end.

Greatly enjoyed this!!
