What's a round-the-world honeymoon if you can't buy the odd souvenir to ship home - like the porcelain Chinese urns and 20 silk dressing gowns Becky found in Hong Kong, the gamelan from Indonesia, the hand-carved dining table and 10 chairs from Sri Lanka, and the huge wooden giraffes from Malawi? But now that Becky and Luke have returned to London, Luke is furious. Two truckloads of souvenirs clutter their loft, and the bills are outrageous. Luke insists she go on a budget. Then, Becky's parents deliver some incredible news: she has a long-lost sister. Becky is thrilled. They'll go shopping, drink cappuccinos and have manicures together. Unfortunately, her mousy, practical sister turns out to be more interested in hiking and environmental protests. Even worse, Luke seems to prefer her.
