So long, London! Bonjour, Paris! ...is the sum total of Jean’s French, but her maths is fine and this apartment does not have enough bedrooms.Jean has a brilliant nannying gig in London, but when the kids’ uptight father suddenly ups and takes them all to Paris, everything starts to go wrong.Having coeliacs is a real downer in the land of the pain au chocolat and with no French to speak of Jean struggles to make the most of things. Walking in on her boss in the shower is bad, but losing a kid on the Metro is worse.Battling culture-shock and loneliness in such tight quarters, Jean bonds with the kids, and with their difficult dad. Sweet moments are a balm, but also a time-bomb, tick-tocking with near-misses and hot kisses, and all Jean’s ideas about what kind of life she wants to live.She’s young, nowhere near ready for a family, but this messy, mad bunch are getting into her system. less
