  <default_description>Now in paperback, the acclaimed first novel that movingly charts the intersection of two lives, two worlds - the story of a fierce and untameable young girl, growing up privileged in a New England household darkened by her parents epically unhappy marriage, and the Caribbean nanny who has left her own family a thousand miles behind to live among strangers. At the heart of this vibrant and emotionally searing novel is a tale of finding a sense of belonging in an unexpected place. Ideal for reading groups with a bound-in reading group guide. A novel sure to spark discussion about parent/ child relationships. A highly praised work of fiction that marks the debut of an outstandingly gifted new storyteller.</default_description>
