First it was the cosmopolitans. Then Manolo’s and the Birkin bag. Now the Manhattan working mums bring you the new must-have accessory…
The MANNY
Holly Peterson
Publication: 19th February 2007 - £10 HB
Jamie Whitfield is a working mother from the wrong side of the tracks living in the exclusive blocks of New York’s Upper East Side. Concerned about never quite fitting in and juggling the demands of a reporting career, the needs of her children and her neurotic husband, Jamie hires a Manny – a male nanny.
Little does she know that Jason will prove to be a life-saver in more ways than one…
Having sold for $1 million in the States, The Manny is destined to be the most talked about debut novel of 2007. The film rights have been sold to Sony.
