Description
In the smart Parisian suburb of Maisons-Larue, in the wake of the Paris 2015 terrorist attacks, an au pair is arrested after the sudden and suspicious death of her nine-year-old charge...
The truth behind is unravelled through six women.
Geraldine
A heartbroken French teacher who struggles to connect with her vulnerable students.
Lou
An incompetent au pair fired by the family next door.
Charlotte
A chilly socialite and reluctant mother.
Holly
An anxious au pair who yearns to feel at home in Paris.
Nathalie
An isolated French teenager desperate for her mother's attention.
Alena
The au pair accused of killing a child . . .
For fans of Celeste Ng's Everything I Never Told You and Liane Moriarty's Big Little Lies, The Caretakers is a compulsive and gripping read about who takes care of children, the yearning for belonging that extends beyond the homes left behind, and issues of identity, privilege, and class in both American and French culture.
