Love, Nina

A Nanny Writes Home

De: Nina Stibbe

Narrado por: Nina Stibbe

In 1982, 20-year-old Nina Stibbe moved to London to work as a nanny to two opinionated and lively young boys. In frequent letters home to her sister, Nina described her trials and triumphs: There's a cat nobody likes, suppertime visits from a famous local playwright, a mysteriously unpaid milk bill, and repeated misadventures parking the family car. Dinner table discussions cover the gamut, from the greats of English literature, to swearing in German, to sexually transmitted diseases. There's no end to what Nina can learn from these boys (rude words) and their broad-minded mother (the who's who of literary London).

A charming, hilarious, sweetly inspiring celebration of bad food and good company, Love, Nina makes a young woman's adventures in a new world come alive.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Breezy, sophisticated, hilarious, rude and aching with sweetness: Love, Nina might be the most charming book I've ever read." (Maria Semple, author of Where'd You Go, Bernadette)

This is laugh out-loud funny

Nina's letters to her sister are sweet and detailed and at times hilarious. The narrator's deadpan reading of some of the kids' dialogue is perfectly pitched and super funny. Great observations and charming story.

I would give this zero stars

I want my $14.99 back! I can’t believe a publisher paid to publish this book. Maybe I’m missing something because I’m not English but the letters aren’t funny or interesting. I gave it 3 hours but I’m giving up.
