Nanny Diaries

Emma McLaughlin, Nicola Kraus

In this sharp and witty novel, a recent college graduate finds herself navigating the treacherous waters of Manhattan's Upper East Side as a nanny for a wealthy, demanding family. Through her candid journal entries, she chronicles the absurdities of her employers' lives, the challenges of childcare, and her own quest for identity amidst the chaos. This insightful look into the lives of the elite and the often-unseen labor that supports them explores themes of class, ambition, and the search for belonging. With a voice that is both hilarious and poignant, the authors offer a compelling glimpse into a world where appearances are everything and true connection is a rare commodity.
