A Gate at the Stairs by Lorrie Moore
2.0

Not quite sure why this meandering tale is on so many MUST READ lists.
The story of a twenty year old college student who takes a nanny job.
The narrative was disingenuous to me, a 20 year old from Illinois just doesn't know the things this "girl" knows. She was naive in obvious ways (love), a bit too sophisticated in others (worldly knowledge).
