About This Item
New York:: Doubleday,, (1989). Hardcover first edition -. Very near fine in a near fine dustjacket (price-clipped).. First US printing. The second novel by this award winning writer - one review described it as "Precisely articulated, carefully structured and tightly controlled, the story is narrated by Daisy, the young wife of a rich man living on a country estate, who hires Margaret Price as a nanny for her little boy. Addicted to wearing cute clothes decorated with adorable animals, Margaret seems an exemplary nanny, even, Daisy convinces herself, 'perfection.' In the languid torpor of a new pregnancy, complicated by a deep-seated depression about her place in the world and 'a perverse will to be polite at any cost,' Daisy blinds herself to the dangerous character of super-efficient, humorless Margaret - until it is almost too late." 181 pp.
