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.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Praise for The Baby Trail 'Moriarty's Emma has the wit of of Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw, mixed with the Murphy's Law luck of Bridget Jones.' Irish Independent 'The pace is fast and furious -... a real page-turner.' Irish Tatler 'Honest and funny.' U Magazine 'Lots of tears and even more laughs ... a confident debut' Irish Times 'Very funny, with a cast of wonderful supporting characters and an unpredictable ending. Marian Keyes, you have some competition.' RTE Guide 'Funny - sidesplittingly so, which is a difficult balance to strike considering the weight of the subject matter.' Ireland On Sunday

SINEAD MORIARTY,
By Ann M. Columbus "critter caregiver" (East Northport, New York United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Perfect Match (Paperback)
I PURCHASED THE BOOK "A PERFECT MATCH" BY SINEAD MORIARTY, AFTER READING HER FIRST BOOK, "THE BABY TRAIL". I ALSO PURCHASED "THE RIGHT FIT" BY THE SAME AUTHOR, NOT REALIZING THAT "A PERFECT MATCH" AND "THE RIGHT FIT" ARE THE SAME BOOK! THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOME EXPLANATION BY AMAZON ABOUT THIS.
1.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: A Perfect Match (Kindle Edition)
I bought this book as I have previously enjoyed other books by this author... I have to say that I was extremely disappointed by all the errors throughout the text, I found myself to be constantly annoyed and distracted by all the errors in the text, sometimes even having to take time out of the book to try to figure out what exactly the text ought to be saying!! The story was ok, but it would have been so much better if it was easier to read (without the errors). If this book was actually proof read before it was released then I would be extremely shocked, it was a good way to ruin my reading experience and I even find myself reluctant to purchase any more books from this author / publisher in future.

I loved this whole series,

This review is from: Perfect Match (Paperback)
This series had me hooked right from the first book. The characters were endearing and funny, the story line was great, and I have to admit I can relate to the slightly neurotic main character. It's a funny entertaining book about becoming/trying to become a family.
