Love, Nina

Just finished reading a book entitled "Love, Nina" and really enjoyed it. The title caught my eye as my niece is called Nina. Written by Nina Stibbe, the book is a series of letters she wrote to her sister at home detailing her time working as a nanny in London. Her language is fun and it makes a very effective autobiography. By putting in some conversation in dialog format she avoided awakward description and kept the story fresh and honest. It's an interesting read and as a student of creative writing I find the style interesting. Dialogues are hard unless you have a very good command of personalities and tone of voice of various characters. Have a read, it's funny in most part and a very diverting read.
