Summary :
Elle Roman Readers' Prize 2017 - Prix Goncourt 2016
When Myriam, mother of two young children, decides, despite her husband's reluctance, to return to work at a law firm, the couple begins looking for a nanny. After a rigorous casting process, they hire Louise, who quickly wins the children's affection and gradually takes center stage in the household. Little by little, the trap of mutual dependence closes in, leading to tragedy. Through the precise description of the young couple and that of the fascinating and mysterious character of the nanny, our era is revealed, with its conception of love and education, relationships of domination and money, and class and cultural prejudices. Leïla Slimani's dry and sharp style, through which bursts of dark poetry shine through, establishes a captivating suspense from the very first pages.
