Seriously, the Time Traveller's Wife, the Memory Keeper's Daughter ... are there more? Why is it 'the female relative of the person with the interesting job'? Why can't the person with the interesting job be a woman? And why would books need to be so targetted to women?
(And where's 'the Cowboy's husband'? Or 'the Book Eater's son'?)
