392 pp. "Two former Manhattan nannies blow the lid off of the private child-care industry with a hilarious debut that pulls no punches as it recounts the travails of Nan, a hip Mary Poppins looking for a job to fit around her classes at NYU. Mrs. X seems reasonable enough when she hires Nan to look after her son, Grayer, but she quickly reveals herself to be a monster and a bundle of neuroses…" Publishers Weekly Description in Spanish: Si eres entusiasta, alegre, te gusta trabajar en turnos de dieciséis horas, que te vomiten encima (literal y figuradamente), que te paguen poco y sin regularidad, y, sobre todo, si no te tomas las cosas muy a pecho y te apetece que te traten como si fueras moho en el fondo de un bolso de Hermès? ¿Por qué no trabajas de niñera? Mientras estudia y se costea su microscópico apartamento, Nanny empieza a trabajar cuidando al hijo de los riquísimos Señores X. ¡No sabe lo que le espera! Pronto aprenderá a hacer todo lo necesario para que la Señora X --que no trabaja ni dentro ni fuera de casa-- tenga un buen día. Y que Grayer, el niño, coma sólo alimentos orgánicos y se mantenga cuerdo en medio de esa loca familia. Y a acostumbrarse a que el Señor X la trate como si fuera invisible. Y, más importante aún, a conservar el sentido del humor, cuidar de su gato George y atraer la atención del estupendo vecino del sexto. Las aventuras de Nanny nos asoman a los pisos más lujosos de Nueva York con mucho humor y frescura. Una novela explosiva que llega precedida de un éxito espectacular en Estados Unidos, donde alcanzó el número uno en todas las listas de best-sellers, al igual que en Gran Bretaña.

More than four million readers fell in love with Nan, the smart, spirited, and sympathetic heroine of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Nanny Diaries. After living abroad for twelve years, Nan and her husband, Ryan, aka H.H., have returned to New York to get her new business off the ground and fix up their fixer-upper. To compound the mounting construction woes and marital chaos of Ryan announcing his sudden desire to start a family, sixteen-year-old Grayer X makes a drunken, late-night visit wanting to know why Nan abandoned him all those years ago. Soon she is drawn back into Mrs. X's ever-bizarre Upper East Side conclave of power and privilege in this "eminently readable" and "surprisingly affecting" (Entertainment Weekly) tale of what happens when a community that chooses money over love finds itself with neither.
