Synopsis
Enter the world of Olivier and Madison Malin, glittering inhabitants of Paris's exclusive Left Bank. The Malins' life together with their daughter is the stuff of dreams -- and carefully-selected celebrity magazines. Madison is a film star: her beauty, talent and perfect accent hiding her Texan roots, and the fact she's just turned forty. Her husband, Olivier, is the darling of the sophisticated Left Bank: philosopher and media personality, he craves adoration (and is a little too willing to return it). Everything seems perfect -- if a touch pretentious -- until the moment new English nanny, Anna, appears at the doors of their Rue du Bac apartment. Anna unwittingly sets in motion a chain of events that will endanger their charmed lives - in ways no-one could have foreseen...

An easy read, I loved the fact that it was set in Paris and it was so easy to imagine being there as the writing was so descriptive.
The characters were all quite flawed, which makes for an interesting read, a nice change from the usual chic lit and an opportunity to look at our own lives and relationships.
