This little French novel by Laïla Slimani was a publishing sensation and it is easy to see why. The Perfect Nanny (or Lullaby) is a chilling novel where unspeakable horrible things happen.

The Perfect Nanny is a social critique dressed up as a psychological thriller (or maybe, the other way around). Here, Slimani writes a multi-layered novel that will have you at the edge of your seat and haunt you for a long time after you finish it.
