- Summary:
- This entertaining novel tells the story of Melissa, a young American woman who thinks her "perfect" job of being an au pair to an upper middle class English family will include tennis parties and tea on the lawn. Instead, she finds backbreaking duties, an employer impossible to please, and a polite but freezing undercurrent of anti-Americanism among the family's friends and relatives.
