false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179183414m/885588.jpg 228333 46 <I>The Nanny Diaries</I> is an absolutely addictive peek into the utterly weird world of child rearing in the upper reaches of Manhattan's social strata. Co-written by two former nannies, Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus, the novel follows the adventures of the aptly named Nan as she negotiates the Byzantine byways of working for Mrs. X, a Park Avenue mommy. Nan's 4-year-old charge, the hilariously named Grayer (his pals include Josephina, Christabelle, Brandford, and Darwin) is a genuinely good sort of child. He can't help it if his mom has scheduled him for every activity known to the Upper East Side, including ice skating, French lessons, and a Mommy and Me group largely attended by nannies. What makes the book so impossible to put down is the suspense of finding out what the unbelievably inconsiderate Mrs. X will demand of Nan next. One pictures the two authors having the last hearty laugh on their former employers. 221139 book 2002 The Nanny Diaries total:52793|5:6792|4:13672|3:19920|2:8820|1:3589| 52793 169637 64682 2874 228333 0312291639 9780312291631 51140 2671 3.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172885703m/228333.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/228333.The_Nanny_Diaries 2 13 false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 23 09:42:02 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 23 10:50:28 -0700 2007 ...more...]]> 228333 0312291639 9780312291631 51140 2671 3.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172885703m/228333.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/228333.The_Nanny_Diaries 1 7 false Fri Aug 17 14:47:39 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 20 13:55:25 -0700 2007 more...]]> 228333 0312291639 9780312291631 51140 2671 3.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172885703m/228333.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/228333.The_Nanny_Diaries 1 8 false Tue Mar 25 21:00:57 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 31 15:47:05 -0700 2008
