Synopsis
The baby is dead. It only took a few seconds. When Myriam, a French-Moroccan lawyer, decides to return to work after having children, she and her husband look for the perfect caretaker for their two young children. They never dreamed they would find Louise: a quiet, polite and devoted woman who sings to their children, cleans the family's chic apartment in Paris's upscale tenth arrondissement, stays late without complaint and is able to host enviable birthday parties. The couple and nanny become more dependent on each other. But as jealousy, resentment and suspicions increase, Myriam and Paul's idyllic tableau is shattered...

Dark Insight Into a Broken Woman
Excellent - 8 out of 10
This book doesn't pull any punches. It dives straight in. It surprised me. I was almost expecting a mystery or horror, but what unfolded was the story of a broken woman which ends in unthinkable tragedy. I loved the realistic characters and an insight into suburban Paris. Not for the faint hearted. It's one if those books that will stick with you.
