Love, Nina: Despatches from Family Life
Autor Nina Stibbeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 feb 2014
Love, Nina: Despatches from Family Lifeby Nina Stibbe is the laugh-out-loud story of the trials and tribulations of a very particular family
In 1982 Nina Stibbe, a 20-year-old from Leicester, moved to London to work as a nanny for a very particular family. It was a perfect match: Nina had no idea how to cook, look after children or who the weirdos were who called round. And the family, busy discussing such arcane subjects as how to swear in German or the merits (or otherwise) of turkey mince, were delighted by her lack of skills.Love, Ninais the collection of letters she wrote home gloriously describing her 'domestic' life, the unpredictable houseguests and the cat everyone loved to hate.
