From the moment she arrives Isabel is a disappointment. She is not the daughter she was supposed to be and she becomes worse with every passing day. This is not altogether surprising. She has a model father but her mother spoils her. She becomes fat and aggressive not only to her father but to other children. No wonder they call her The Blob. To her father she is the cuckoo as she tries every feminine trick in the book to shoulder him out of the family nest. Then one day, in mid-France, her mother insists on leaving her in his sole charge. Her father is horrified. For an entire day! How old is she now? Her father does his best to remember how long he has endured, and why does she insist on being taken to Oradour-sur-Glane, village-martyr, scene of an appalling World War Two massacre. What her father wanted was a willowy, dark eyed, affectionate Chiara, not this belligerent challenge to fatherhood as we know it.
