Summary of this Book...
This is the story of three women who worked in service in grand houses in England in the 1920's. The story is told from the first person point of view of one of the women, who works as a cook.

There is a separation between upstairs and downstairs that dare not be breached. The most beautiful of the three attracts the attentions of the son of the Lord of the Manor and she marries him.

They work to maintain the friendship, but there is a strain.

I could see a lot of similarities here to Downton Abbey and the way the servants (especially Carson, the Butler) reacted when Branson married Lady Sybil.
This Book made me feel...
like I was back in time in a big house. The lives they led were difficult, working from sunrise to late at night to keep the families functioning.
I recommend this Book because...
This was a birthday gift and I enjoyed reading it very much.
Further Comments...
This made me wonder about the British ruling class who required so very much attention to dress and feed themselves. From what I've seen of the royal family, they don't appear to be blessed in the brains department, either.
