Articoli correlati a Nanny Returns
After living abroad for twelve years, Nan and her husband, HH, return to New York and its Upper East Side world of power and privilege. With a consulting business to get off the ground and a new fixer-upper to fix up, Nan is surprised to be thrown by her husband s sudden desire to start a family. In the midst of construction and marital chaos, sixteen-year-old Grayer X makes a drunken, late-night visit, having stumbled upon her old nanny-cam tape, wanting to know why she left. In an attempt to assuage her guilt Nan tries to help Grayer and his younger brother, Stilton, through their parents brutal divorce, sucking her back into the ever-bizarre life of Mrs. X. Meanwhile she lands her first major client, the Trustees of an elite private school, the institutions that once picked up where the nannies left off, instilling discipline and boundaries on behalf of absentee parents. But as the Boards have donated their way to gaining control, the teachers have become the new hired help with all-too familiar consequences. After putting miles and years between herself and this world, Nan finds she s once again on the front line of the battle with the couture-clad elite for their children s well-being. Set against the backdrop of the current Manhattan economy, Nanny Returns gives a first hand tour of what happens when a community that chose money over love finds themselves with neither.

Descrizione libro Condizione: Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Ten years after the fateful night when Nan was fired, she returns to New York with her husband, HH. Finally settling in to build a permanent home and get her consulting business off the ground, Nan's plans are derailed by HH's sudden desire to start a family - and her surpisingly strong resistance to the idea. Matters are further complicated by a late-night, drunken visit from a now fifteen-year-old Grayer, who's stumbled upon the nanny-cam tape Nan made on her last night in his mother's employment - and wants some answers. Racked with guilt and struggling to find a way to help Grayer and his seven-year-old brother, Stilton, through their parents' vicious divorce, Nan finds herself getting sucked into the Upper East Side world of wealth, power and dysfunction all over again. Set against the backdrop of a Manhattan economy cracking along the fault lines, The Nanny Returns plumbs the humour and heartbreak of a community who chose money over love, only to find the money evaporate - and their children ready to tell all.
