Tuesday November 13 Perfect Nanny (Chanson douce) By Leila Slimani
When Myriam, a mother and brilliant FrenchMoroccan lawyer, decides to return to work, she and her husband are forced to look for a caretaker for their two young children. They are thrilled to find Louise: the perfect nanny right from the start. Louise sings to the children, cleans the family's beautiful apartment in Paris's upscale tenth arrondissement, stays late whenever asked and hosts enviable kiddie parties. But as the couple and the nanny become more dependent on each other, jealousy, resentment and frustrations mount, shattering the idyllic tableau. Goncourt Prize!
