Look at Us
เด เด-เดฌเตเดเตเดเดฟเดจเตเดเตเดเตเดฑเดฟเดเตเดเต
โLook at Us is a scrupulous dissection of a contemporary marriage in mortal peril. Itโs also a wild ride of a novel, gorgeously written, by turns comic, lyrical, elegiac, disturbing, and profound. I couldnโt put it down until the startling conclusion.โ โValerie Martin, author of Property and I Give It to You
Martin, a market analyst, and Lily, a corporate attorney, have a life that many would envyโthey share an expensive New York apartment with their twin toddlers, sample the delicacies of Manhattanโs finest restaurants, and take Caribbean vacations. But when the coupleโs nanny announces her imminent departure, they panic: how will they ever find a replacement capable of managing their spirited boys? Enter Maeve, a young Irish รฉmigrรฉ. Neither of them imagines how indispensable she will become, either to the household or to their marriage. As the familyโs domestic bliss takes an unexpected turn, a different type of intimacy evolves, leading to an explosive finale.
A captivating, trenchant portrait of class and sexual dynamics, Look at Us reveals just how fragile our social arrangements really are.
