What could turn into a catastrophe at a family gathering? Almost anything!
Anatoly, who’s used to considering himself the head of the Skobyanov family, has long decided that he has the right to determine the fates of his loved ones. For years he’s been supporting his relatives—both with money and with guidance—and nurturing the dream that one day he would buy back and revive the old ancestral manor. And now, the moment has arrived!
Everyone has come—only to turn out that the relatives don’t match Anatoly Petrovich’s expectations at all. His cousin’s obedient and quiet former wife has no intention of taking on care for her former husband, and their son won’t hear a word about the suddenly reappeared father.
One niece, whom he had in advance listed as a “nobody,” unexpectedly turned out to be smart and independent, while her striking sister proved to be capricious and self-centered.
And the third niece, at first glance plump and unremarkable, turns out to have a strong character, an excellent sense of humor, and a perfectly attractive appearance.
Who knows what other surprises the family will prepare for the “family head”—and what kind of fireworks will end this meeting?
