Subtitled "Pride and Prejudice: The Servants' Story", this is the story of the servants and their lives downstairs. there is the housekeeper, Mrs. Hill, the maid, Sarah, who spends her days washing out linen, polishing floors and emptying chamber pots, another maid, Polly, and a footman, James, who arrives mysteriously and is central to their story.
I loved this book- the story, the writing, the wonderful love story that develops, as well as the artificiality of the "upstairs" people. I didn't want it to end, but I even enjoyed the ending itself.
This will likely be on my top ten list come next December!
