I received it as a gift from the publisher. I enjoyed it a lot. Very good narrator. Very timely plot. Interesting look inside the lives of the rich and super rich. I enjoyed the characters. They were very full and felt very real. Good solid book. Wonderful audio presentation. ( ) This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. This book was actually a pretty dark book, in my opinion. Ali, the Nanny, tells the story of her employer in such a way that I envisioned dark curtains and a low whispering voice. She seems, at times, to be a spectator, observing the crazy family she actually becomes a part of. Other times, she seems to be completely involved.I often feel like the contrarian with my reviews, because I liked this book. The characters were interesting, not endearing characters, but developed and conflicted. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I requested this book from the Early Reviewers as it was set in my favorite place, London, and because I thought I might learn a little something about the recent financial crisis. Like other reviewers, I had a hard time "getting into" the book. In the end, I felt the story was more about being a nanny and the pitfalls of becoming entwined with your family. Over all, it was OK, but not especially memorable. no reviews | add a review
