Beskrivelse
A nanny’s life isn’t just a job-it’s stepping into someone else’s world. Nina Stibbe’s letters home capture the everyday chaos and charm of working for a London family in the 1980s.
A hilarious and heartwarming glimpse into family life through the eyes of a young nanny.
In the 1980s, Nina Stibbe penned letters to her sister back in Leicester, sharing the ups and downs of her time as a nanny to a London household. There’s a cat that nobody really likes, a visiting dog named Ted Hughes (or just Ted), and regular supper visits from a local playwright. Alongside these characters are two boys, their favourite football teams, plenty of rude words, a very open-minded mother, and some notably nice chairs.
From the mystery surrounding an unpaid milk bill to conversations about avoiding nuclear war, from debates over pie filling to discussions about English literary greats, swearing in German, and even sexually transmitted diseases, Love, Nina is a delightful celebration of bad meals, great company, and the merits of authors like Thomas Hardy and Enid Blyton.
