After Kate meets her father's research assistant Pyotr, he manages to bump into her.

After Kate meets her father's research assistant Pyotr, he manages to bump into her after she leaves work. Read by Liza Ross.

Kate has been introduced to her father's research assistant Pyotr, in a somewhat staged encounter. 

Already her forthright manner has caused him to describe her as 'rude-spoken', but nonetheless Pyotr manages to bump into her on her way home from the nursery school where she works. 

Kate and Bunny's mother died when Bunny was a baby, and since she dropped out of college (after a disagreement with her biology lecturer) Kate has managed the household for her father and teenage sister. 

Anne Tyler's contemporary response to Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew is set in Baltimore where Dr Battista, an obsessively dedicated scientist, lives with his two daughters Kate and Bunny. 

Read by Liza Ross.

Abridged and Produced by Jill Waters 

A Waters Company Production for BBC Radio 4 first broadcast in June 2016.
