Beverly's Reviews > The Maid

What a wonderful book! I can't believe this is the author's debut. Nita Prose writes with such style and assurance and she has created a marvelous character in Molly.

Everything about Molly is so refreshing, her honesty, kindness and sincerity, Molly is who I want to be. She has trouble reading expressions and understanding social cues. She doesn't always know when people are making fun of her, but she senses it. Aren't we all that way? She was bullied physically and mentally in school, but still approaches the world with a can-do attitude instilled in her by her beloved grandmother who died and can no longer guide her.

Trouble comes along soon enough. She loves her job at the hotel keeping everything clean and tidy in a dirty world, but there is some human scum there, as well. These creeps threaten to topple her only remaining support, her job and with it, her freedom.
