A sparkling talent makes her fiction debut with this infectious novel that combines the charming pluck of Eloise, the poignant psychological quirks of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and the page-turning spirit of Where’d You Go, Bernadette.
Reclusive
literary legend M. M. “Mimi” Banning has been holed up in her Bel Air
mansion for years. But after falling prey to a Bernie Madoff-style ponzi
scheme, she’s flat broke. Now Mimi must write a new book for the first
time in decades, and to ensure the timely delivery of her manuscript,
her New York publisher sends an assistant to monitor her progress. The
prickly Mimi reluctantly complies—with a few stipulations: No
Ivy-Leaguers or English majors. Must drive, cook, tidy. Computer whiz.
Good with kids. Quiet, discreet, sane.
When Alice Whitley arrives
at the Banning mansion, she’s put to work right away—as a full-time
companion to Frank, the writer’s eccentric nine-year-old, a boy with the
wit of Noel Coward, the wardrobe of a 1930s movie star, and very little
in common with his fellow fourth-graders.
