Spend It Foolishly

4.4/5 ( ratings)

KIRKUS REVIEW --- 21-year-old Kerry, who, having worn out her only two dresses while code-filing in Ohio, decides to blow her savings on three weeks in Europe. Three weeks, however, are not enough, since they're wasted in the hideously hokey company of fellow Clevelander Grace . So Kerry stays on, brushing up against the malodorous fringes of the Parisian-American hippie community but resolving to go it alone through the winter--as an au pair. Kerry's career as a starved, homesick, overworked, underpaid nanny provides marvelously detailed and unexaggerated comedies of desperation and vignettes of French-neurotique domesticity. . .
