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

Zustand: Bueno. : En su segunda novela, 'A Perfect Match', Sinéad Moriarty cuenta la historia de Emma Hamilton, quien se embarca en el camino de la adopción de un bebé cuando ella y su esposo no pueden concebir. Logra ser a la vez hilarante e increíblemente conmovedora, comparable a la escritura de Marian Keyes en su capacidad de equilibrar la luz y la sombra. Después de dos años de ser ensordecida por el TICKTOCK de su reloj biológico y atormentada por la negativa de la Madre Naturaleza a concederle un bebé, Emma Hamilton decide optar por la solución instantánea: encontrar un bebé ruso que necesite un hogar. Pero Emma no ha contado con que la ruta hacia la adopción sea tan complicada. Entre demostrar que está en condiciones de ser madre (inventando un pasado inmaculado y descubriendo un talento insospechado para las tareas domésticas), volver loco a su sufrido marido con planes descabellados para convertirlos en los perfectos aspirantes a padres (unas cuantas verbos rusos por noche y serán fluidos en poco tiempo), y tropezar con la burocracia a cada paso (¿quién iba a saber que los trabajadores sociales podían ser tan aterradores?) Emma descubre que la adopción está lejos de ser la opción fácil, y que la perfección tiene muy poco que ver con encontrar la pareja perfecta.
