Nanny Returns - Couverture rigide

‘Nan revisits 721 Park, home of the moneyed but morally bankrupt Xs, and the boy she guiltily left behind in their inept care in this smart and sassy sequel to The Nanny Diaries. And though Nan has grown up a bit, married “Harvard Hottie” Ryan and travelled the world, the plight of the rich and stupid continues, as does Nan’s new crusade to save former charge Grayer and his younger brother Stilton, renovate a crumbling East Harlem mansion and stick it out at a soulless Manhattan private school. Outcomes are deeply uncertain, though Nan is nothing if not a natural-born cheerleader: “I know what I’m worth. Because I care for these kids, I do, right down to my toes,” she says of her young charges in and out of school. There’s still one fear, however—whether she’ll ever be able to make the leap from nanny to mommy. McLaughlin and Kraus leave no dry eyes as they once again wield a razor-sharp wit that cuts down the most uppity mortals even as it lifts up their vulnerable children. You could safely bet your first born that this’ll be another smash hit’

'As bitingly funny as its predecessor, this Nanny also makes serious points about the pitfalls of modern parenting. It does chick lit proud.' People

‘Nan is back in town, but she’s about to get thrown into battle. A gripping sequel to The Nanny Diaries’ 4 stars, Heat magazine 10/4

Ten years after the fateful night she was fired, Nan is back in New York with her husband, HH. Finally settling in to build a permanent home and get her consulting business off the ground, Nan is taken unaware by HH's sudden desire to start a family - and her surprisingly strong resistance to the idea.
Then Nan receives a late-night, drunken visit from a now fifteen-year-old Grayer, who's stumbled on the nanny-cam tape she made on her last night in his mother's employment - and he 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 toxic Upper East Side world of wealth, power and dysfunction all over again.
Set in the aftermath of the global credit crunch, The Nanny Returns explores the humour and heartbreak of a community who chose money over love, only to find the money evaporate - and their children ready to tell them a few home truths.
