Product Description

マンハッタン、アッパー・イーストサイドの社交界で子どもを養育することを「のぞき見」できるこの珍妙な物語には、読み終わるまで読者を中毒症状に陥らせる魔力のような何かがある。共著者エマ・マクローリンとニコラ・クラウスの2人は元ベビーシッター（ナニー）。ストーリーは、パーク・アベニューの住人であるホコリ高きママ、「ミセスX」に「仕える」アルバイトという、迷路のようなわき道にはまりこんだ、ニューヨーク大学に通う21歳のヒロイン（その名もズバリ「ナン」）の冒険を追っていく。
ナンがお守りする4歳の「グレイヤー（Grayer!）」（ちなみに彼の友だちの名前はジョセフィーナ、クリスタベル、フランフォード、ダーウィンだ…）はとてもいい子で、アイススケートとかフランス語、それに「マミーと私」グループ（「忙しい」母親たちはほとんど出席しないため、実質的には「ナニーと私」グループとなっている）など、とにかくアッパー・イーストサイドで有名なおけいこごとを、おとなしくかたっぱしからやらされている。
なんといってもページをめくる手が止まらないのは、ミセスXが次にどんな無思慮な無理難題をナニーに言いつけるか（それから、ミセスXの隣人である、ちょっとキュートなハーバードの学生とナンとの恋の行方も…）が気になってしかたないからだ。そして読者は、2人の著者が自分たちの雇い主を思い出して大笑いしているシーンを、思い浮かべずにはいられない。（Claire Dederer, Amazon.co.uk） --This text refers to the ペーパーバック edition.
内容説明
Read by Julia Roberts
Based on the real-life experiences, the inside story on the real lives of the rich and privileged from the women who know all the secrets - the nannies.
THE NANNY DIARIES deftly skewers the manner in which America's over-privileged raises les petites - as if grooming them for a Best of Show competition. A poignant satire, it punctures the glamor of Manhattan's upper class to tackle head-on the truer state of backstairs Park Avenue.
Struggling to graduate from NYU and afford her microscopic apartment, Nanny takes a job caring for the only son of the wealthy X family. She rapidly learns the insane amount of juggling involved in ensuring that a Park Avenue wife who doesn't work, cook, clean, or raise her own child has a smooth day.
When the X's marriage begins to disintegrate, Nanny's nearly impossible mission becomes maintaining the mental health of their four-year-old, her own integrity, and most importantly, her sense of humor. Over nine tense months Mrs X and Nanny perform the age old dance of decorum and power as they test the limits of modern-day servitude.
