21st century family life - love, death, grief, childhood, motherhood, parenthood - delivered head on by none other than comic genius Dawn French. Rosie, after a sad occurrence in Cornwall, takes herself off to New York to work as a nanny to 8-year old twin boys who are currently living with their grandparents, Thomas and matriarchal Glenn Wilder-Bingham, as the twins father, Kemble, is divorcing their French mother and the grandmother is determined that Kemble gets custody so that she can supervise their upbringing and education. The twins also have an 18-year old brother and they all live together in a huge apartment, complete with Polish servant.
Glenn is strict and formal so Rosie enters the twins’ lives like a breath of fresh air, everyone loves Rosie except, of course, Glenn. Generous in body and soul Rosie becomes pregnant, father unknown, splitting the whole family asunder. How things work out is brilliantly portrayed in a great, comic, poignant, insightful read. Thoroughly recommended.
