Mona Simpson's new novel, My Hollywood (Knopf), corkscrews its way into the heart of a Santa Monica marriage, a marriage in which child raising duties are agreed to be divided fifty-fifty between husband and wife. Instead, they are divided fifty-fifty between wife and nanny. Simpson talks about the nannies she has known, particularly one whose kindness and wisdom taught Simpson about motherhood and inspired this novel.
