Brought to you by Penguin.

K is waiting for a phone call from her first love.

Over a decade ago she made a pact with him: if neither had found a partner, they would marry and have a baby. Now, at 35, after years as a career nanny mothering other women’s children, she has been struck with that relentless, near carnal desperation to give birth. And this call may be the cure.

Whilst she waits – in a bar, drinking with friends – she lays out the reasons why she has arrived at this point, and each reason opens a door to the past: to her own childhood; to the wealthy families whose children she has caretaken; to an abusive partnership with a woman that she barely survived. Each thread reveals the complex tangle of thrill and pain, tradition and progress that have led to this call, this choice.

A stunning, rare and unexpectedly funny debut, Nanny Nanny upends every expectation of a motherhood book.

批評家のレビュー

Nanny Nanny is absolutely stunning. Exquisitely crafted, with visceral intensity throughout. I loved it.

In the midst of so many literary reconsiderations of motherhood, this book announces itself as an essential left-field addition to the contemporary canon — a story of a career nanny, a professional mother substitute, yearning for a child as a way to undo and reconfigure the physical and emotional violence of an ex-girlfriend; unraveling, too, the way her self-formation as a mother-in-absence, a body to be depleted and taken for granted, dovetailed with her experience of domestic abuse. K Chiucarello is a thrilling, forthright, sensual, deeply perceptive writer; NANNY NANNY comes at you like an incendiary secret, a sweet and dangerous flame kindled in the dark.

This book is astounding. At once brutal and loving, fast-paced and strikingly attentive, Nanny Nanny is for anyone who has felt the break of one life and started again... K Chiucarello has given us a wholly original motherhood novel, expansive and bold, and inclusive of the many beloved caregivers of children. With intelligence, patience, and forgiveness, we are whipped through the times and places, the generations and lovers, the mistakes and the narrow escapes that build a mother. Nanny Nanny offers an urgent new window on beginnings, one that I can never forget.

A deftly crafted, blazing page turner about honest, hard work, and the many occupational hazards of affection. An unforgettable voice.

What a surprising, perceptive novel Nanny Nanny is, stitching together violence and care at every turn, and always insisting on tenderness.
