Guardian Bookshop Notes:

An extraordinarily personal study of immigration and integration, told through the story of the friendship between the author, and the Kosovan refugee who became her family's nanny. Was read on Radio 4, and is similar in vein to "Stuart: A Life Backwards".

Publisher's description:

One morning in London, two neighbours start to chat over the heads of their children. Kate Clanchy is a writer, privileged and sheltered, Antigona is a refugee from Kosovo. On instinct, Kate offers Antigona a job as a nanny, and Antigona accepts. Over the next five years and a thousand cups of coffee Antigona's extraordinary story slowly emerges.
