Left Bank by Kate Muir

Left Bank Enter the world of
Olivier and Madison Malin,
the glittering inhabitants of Paris's most exclusive
neighbourhood, the stylish and intellectual Left Bank.
The Malins' life together in their grand apartment
with their adorable daughter is the stuff of dreams - 
and carefully selected celebrity magazines.

Madison is an American film star: she is
beautiful and talented and her French accent
may be impeccable but she is secretly ashamed
of her bourgeois Texan roots, and the fact she's
just turned forty (although that actually
happened several years ago).

Her husband, Oliver, is the darling of the
sophisticated Left Bank: philosopher, gourmand
and media personality, he craves attention
(and is a little too willing to return it).

Olivier and Madison indulge in fine wines,
bon mots, and some exceptional cheeses.
Everything seems perfect - if a touch pretentious
- right up until the moment a new English nanny,
Anna, appears at the imposing doors of their
Rue du Bac apartment. Gamine and artless,
Anna unwittingly sets in motion a chain of
events that will gravely endanger the Malins'
daughter and their charmed lives - in ways
no one could have foreseen...
