Love, Nina by Nina Stibbe
This very entertaining book is an account of the years Nina Stibbe spent working as a nanny to a publisher's family. Set in North London in the 1980s, the material for the book came directly from letters she wrote to her sister who discovered them in a box during a house move years later. Many well-known literary names make appearances - Alan Bennett is a neighbour and regular supper visitor - conversations round the table hilarious, characters delightful.
