Woman No. 17

When Lady decides to take a break from her husband, she hires a live-in nanny so she can finish her book-but also possibly to avoid her children. S, a young artist/student, arrives on Lady's doorstep to interview for the job and instantly connects with both her sons, but soon begins to act in a way that causes Lady to question her reason for being there. This twisty, moody, bizarre, and confidently written second novel is a riveting exploration of female friendship that will further establish Lepucki as a major voice in literary fiction.
