She May Not Leave by Fay Weldon
She May Not Leave: Book summary and reviews of She May Not Leave by Fay Weldon
She May Not Leave SummaryHattie and Martyn
are the proud parents of newborn Kitty;
both are in their early thirties, smart,
handsome, and, for reasons of liberal
principle, not married but partnered.
All seems fine at first — healthy baby,
happy couple — but when they have to
decide who'll look after little
Kitty, things get complicated.
Hattie's dying to get back to work
but Martyn fears employing foreign help
might hurt his leftist political
aspirations. Martyn capitulates when
Agnieska arrives — a Polish nanny who
happens to be both domestic goddess and
first-rate belly dancer, the maker of a
mean cup of cocoa who's also
educated in early childhood development.
Having her in the house makes life
livable again for the young couple, so
when problems arise with her immigration
papers Martyn and Hattie will do
anything to keep her in the country. But
will their decision to have Martyn marry
her be the trouble-free solution they
envision? She May Not Leave Reviews"Throwing in one final unexpected but
delicious twist at the end, Weldon
delivers another of her trademark takes
