Die junge Berlinerin Kinga will heiraten. Und zwar ihren Freund Mahmut, mit dem sie bereits seit einigen Jahren Wohnung und Weltansichten teilt. Alles könnte perfect sein - wäre da nicht die liebe Familie. Denn Kingas Eltern kommen aus Polen, und in der Heiligen Dreifaltigkeit aus Kirche, Wodka und Gulasch ist kein Platz für einen muslimischen Schwiegersohn. Kurzerhand wird der unerwünschte Anhang zum Kennenlernen zu einer Familienhochzeit in der alten Heimat eingeladen - und da sorgt nicht nur Omas Flaki für Magenschmerzen.

Good book, I liked reading it. The jump cuts between the past and present were a bit jarring, but I understand that they were necessary so that we could see the complexities of Kinga's relationship with her folks. After awhile I did find myself skimming through the parts set in the past, I wanted to get back into the story of the present!
*********SPOILER*********
The ending wrapped up a little too easily and neatly. I mean, the whole book her parents are horrified that she's dating a Turkish guy, then her father goes on a racist rant at the boyfriend - in front of everyone - and then less than 24 hours later both parents are giving the relationship their blessing? Not believable. I get that she wanted to give us a happy ending, but we deserve a believable one.
