Love, Nina: A Nanny Writes Home
Autor Nina Stibbeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 noi 2014
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, Ninamakes a young woman's adventures in a new world come alive.

Recenzii
"I
adored
this
book,
and
I
could
quote
from
it
forever.
It's
real,
odd,
life-affirming,
sharp,
loving...and
I
can't
remember
the
last
time
I
laughed
out
loud
so
frequently
while
reading."—Nick
Hornby,The
Believer
"My feel-good recipe is to have a top self-help book on the go together with a novel with a light and jolly perspective on life. On the novel front, anything by P.G. Wodehouse never fails, but this year,Love Nina: A Nanny Writes Homeworked just the same magic."—Helen Fielding,author of Bridget Jones's Diary
"[Love, Ninais] observant, funny, terse, at times a bit rude. It affords a glimpse into a rarefied London social and literary milieu...These letters are winning from the start...we simply like being in Ms. Stibbe's company."—Dwight Garner,The New York Times
"I have never laughed so hard reading a book. Nina Stibbe's recollections of life as a London nanny are both hilarious and heartwarming."—J. Courtney Sullivan, author ofMaineandThe Engagements
"I must MOST EARNESTLY recommendLove, Ninaby Nina Stibbe. It's the most piss-funny thing I've read all year. I can't remember a book since Adrian Mole that so brilliantly, drily nailed day-to-day life in BRILLIANT, faux-naive prose."—Caitlin Moran, author of How to Build a Girl
"Nina Stibbe is the funniest new writer to arrive in years. LOVE, NINA is a memoir so warm, so witty and so wise, it's like finding the friend you always deserved."—Andrew O'Hagan, author ofBe Near MeandMissing
"What a funny, artist-filled life she lived, and how well she watched and participated. This is an offbeat paean to families, real and cobbled-together, to sisters and siblings, and to communicating with love. It's also a rare and delectable epistolary slice of life."—Booklist(starred review)
"I loved this book. What a beady eye she has for domestic life, and how deliciously fresh and funny she is - a real discovery."—Deborah Moggach, author ofThe Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
"You'll find yourself laughing out loud but also touched by the book's depiction of family as it should be: people bound not just by blood but by shared affinities, humor and unfailing interest in hearing the answer to the question, 'How was your day?'"—People
"Enchanting . . . a glimpse into the domestic life of a fascinating family."—The Wall Street Journal
