Şi cum Richard, în drumul lui spre înţelepciune, nu mai are salariu, Kate trebuie să se întoarcă la muncă.

Si on ajoute à cette angoisse les hormones qui s'agitent, des ados qui ont besoin d'elle mais qui ne lui adressent pas la parole, des parents qui vieillissent et redeviennent des enfants, un mari qui se cherche et a décidé de s'offrir un break pour se consacrer à la méditation.

Sie ist Mitte dreißig und die einzige weibliche Führungskraft einer Londoner Investmentfirma. Außerdem ist Kate die Mutter von Emily (6) und Ben (1). Trotz verständnisvollem Ehemann und perfekter Organisation schrammt sie chronisch am Rand der Katastrophe entlang. Verspätete Flugzeuge oder verschwundene Kuscheltiere sind Zeitbomben.
