The "Nanny Diaries," a superbestseller in the United States in 2001, is an outstanding satirical literary work with a smooth pace and vivid storytelling. What makes this novel captivating is that its content draws from little-known incidents in the upper class. Through sharp observation and uniquely styled writing, it presents utterly authentic details with no pretense. The two authors, though born into wealthy families and college students, have nearly five years of experience as nannies, having served more than thirty elite New York families. "The Nanny Diaries" is their first co-authored debut. Over the years, the authors have artistically transformed their observations of upper-class American families into this story, filled with laughter and tears. Though the story may be fictionalized and embellished, its details are based on experience. With humorous, fashionable, and exquisite writing, it lifts the veil on the upper class, which is often unknown to the general public. The book was one of the top five bestsellers in the United States in 2001, both witty and biting, exposing the glamorous facade of Upper Manhattan life. "The two former Manhattan beauty nannies kick off with a flawless, lively introduction, revealing the inner workings of the nanny industry to the world. This story tells of Nanette, a New York University student, who seeks a nanny job to fulfill her academic requirements in child development. Parents or housewives who hire nannies to care for their children should definitely read this highly engaging book." — Publishers Weekly "It's an inside story. Both authors once worked as nannies for the upper class in New York, and now they have recorded their experiences in novel form to protect the innocent and those who feel guilty."
