The Good Nanny Author:Benjamin Cheever Expert satirist Benjamin Cheever, author of Famous After Death, uses his dark sense of humor to deliver another searing look at suburbia.

Not only is Louise flawless in the kitchen and immediately adored... more » by the children, but she is also quickly becoming an accomplished painter. To Stuart's burgeoning dismay, his attempt at writing a novel is unsuccessful; meanwhile, Andie resents being at work and away from her children. Louise's perfection steadily continues to irritate the ambitious, but less gifted, parents, and soon their jealousy gets the better of them, leading to a startling series of incidents. Cheever's parody of the artsy upper class parents and their Mary Poppins-like nanny will surprise and entertain listeners. Acclaimed narrator George Wilson adds just the right touch of sarcasm to this sitty black comedy.« less
