About this audiobook

Martin, a market analyst, and Lily, a corporate attorney, have a life that many would envy-they share an expensive New York apartment with their twin toddlers, sample the delicacies of Manhattan's finest restaurants, and take Caribbean vacations. But when the couple's 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 emigre. Neither of them imagines how indispensable she will become, either to the household or to their marriage. As the family's 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.
