A romantic comedy with a delightfully biting literary edge, it''s the story of Melissa, a sharp-eyed American abroad. Fired by her San Francisco ad agency, she cancels her wedding but soon regrets her next impulsive move - across the Atlantic, as au pair to a minorly aristocratic British family, with the mother from hell, an ineffectual, sweet-natured father, and three children, one of them deaf.
From freezing farmhouses and island castles in Scotland, to a faded house at a smart London address, Melissa observes the natives in their classic habitats, with their bizarre manners and surprisingly gorgeous, death-defying food. Urged to ''try to speak as we do'' she resists the effete charm of the British bourgeoisie but succumbs to the lure of lemon shortbread, and the sexy appeal of a lean and hungry Englishman.
