Lady has two sons, a husband with whom she has separated, a book that she can't seem to write and a new forthright nanny who she hires on the spot. Esther is a heart-broken young artist whose new project requires her to adopt a new yet familiar persona with a new name and an occupation of a nanny. After reading California and then this excellent novel, Edna Lepucki has become an auto-buy author for me. The characters in this book are so multi-faceted, subtly strange and real. They are repugnant, yet likeable and are really the core of this book. This book examines motherhood and art in a sarcastic, unsentimental yet loving manner that resonates. I look forward to reading what this author comes up with next. I received this book from the LibraryThing Early Reviewers program in exchange for an honest review.
