A Housekeeper’s Private Journal – Paperback

Mgane arrives at Les Mimosas with a suitcase, a new housekeeping contract, and a habit of writing everything down.

The elegant house near Tours runs on apps, cameras, schedules, and carefully worded instructions. Every task leaves a digital trace, yet the people who keep the household running remain strangely invisible. As Mgane learns its routines, she begins to question what the records reveal, what they conceal, and who gets to decide which version of events is believed.

Her private journal follows the friendships, attractions, mistakes, and difficult choices that unfold beyond her employers’ view. When the boundaries between work and personal life blur, keeping an honest record becomes a way to protect herself-and to discover what kind of freedom she wants.

Set in contemporary France, A Housekeeper’s Private Journal is an intimate novel about domestic work, surveillance, desire, and the courage to claim a life of one’s own.
