A poignant satire, it punctures the glamor of Manhattan's upper class to tackle head-on the truer state of backstairs Park Avenue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStruggling to graduate from NYU and afford her microscopic apartment, Nanny takes a job caring for the only son of the wealthy X family.  She rapidly learns the insane amount of juggling involved in ensuring that a Park Avenue wife who doesn't work, cook, clean, or raise her own child has a smooth day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the X's marriage begins to disintegrate, Nanny's nearly impossible mission becomes maintaining the mental health of their four-year-old, her own integrity, and most importantly, her sense of humor.  Over nine tense months Mrs X and Nanny perform the age old dance of decorum and power as they test the limits of modern-day servitude.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47097725878512,"sku":"2940169118469","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169118469_p0.jpg?v=1763673204","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169118469","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
