Katie Fforde: Mama allein zu Hause

SYNOPSIS

Smart schoolboy Simon Lambertson (17) dates classmate Holly Elman. Her mother, school psychologist Lydia, who defended class rebel Simon against expulsion for repeated mischief, and forced his restaurant-managing father Peter Lambert to agree to therapy he considers grotesquely absurd, faces a dilemma when she learns he's Holly's lover, whom she plans to travel to Latin America with. Deontology-barred from warning Holly, she tries sabotaging the couple and manipulating Simon, while falling in love herself with Peter, who proves a devoted father and brilliant chef. It gets worse when she learns Holly is part of a Don Juan wager and Simon overreacts.
