Agnieszka Wyszynska, a Polish nanny, flies into the hectic London lives of Martyn and Hattie like an angel from heaven: she soothes their child, gives Hattie her freedom back, and provides some mostly innocent titillation for Martyn. Soon Agnieszka has imbedded herself into the family in alarming ways, and Hattie is so desperate for her help that she allows Martyn to marry the nanny in order to help her gain citizenship. Fay Weldon's comic novel parodies the liberal lifestyle and cleverly portrays the power of the au pair.
