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.

Recenzii

I adored this book, and could quote from it forever. It's real, odd, life-affirming, sharp, loving, and contains more than one reference to Arsenal FC
Last year, we had Roger Mortimer's splendidly bufferishDear Lupin: Letters to a Wayward Son.Love, Nina- funny, quirky, vivid and touching - is every bit its equal
I loved this book. What a beady eye she has for domestic life, andhow deliciously fresh and funny she is- a real discovery.
Breezy, sophisticated, hilarious, rude and aching with sweetness:Love, Ninamight be the most charming book I've ever read
Funny, warm, life-affirming and accutely well-observed,Love, Ninais a gift that will keep on giving . . . A hoot
The snippets of dialogue and vingettesevoke the characters and atmosphere brilliantly. . . Funny, sharp
Even if Adrian Mole wrote about the Primrose Hill set, it wouldn't be asfunnyandabsorbingasLove, Nina
