Whenever I find a foreign book that has won literary accolades and is translated into English, I add it to my reading list. My logic is fairly simple. For someone to take the time to translate the book, it must reasonably good. This book does not break my simple rule.
Myriam decides to go back to work as a lawyer after having children and is looking for a nanny to look after them. She finds the perfect nanny — hence the title — who is wonderful, hard working, quiet, polite, fastidiously clean, amazing cook. In a nutshell she is too good to be true. Disaster strikes and their lives are turned upside down. You will find it impossible to stop turning the pages and racing to see how this book is going to end.
