About this audiobook
The acclaimed first novel that movingly charts the intersection of two lives, two worlds—the story of a fierce and untameable young girl, growing up "privileged" in a New England household darkened by her parents' epically unhappy marriage, and the Caribbean nanny who has left her own family a thousand miles behind to live among strangers.
At the heart of this vibrant and emotionally searing novel is a tale of finding a sense of belonging in an unexpected place. A novel sure to spark discussion about parent/child relationships.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5It was very confusing at first, with the alternating POVs and from different time periods. I'm not sure I even followed along the first time I read it. Definitely needs a few reads to really understand, I think.Characters, plot, conflict (still not really sure what it was), etc. were all okay.
