A vivid, first‑person portrait of a Victorian servant and the hidden life of a grand estate.
Mary Price recounts her unexpected journey from the villa to Kingston Grange, where service meets ambition, wealth, and danger. Through her eyes, readers glimpse the daily routines, the sharp social divides, and the quiet, intimate moments that shape a young woman’s loyalties and choices.
In this compelling memoir, a devoted maid becomes a confidante to Sybilla Trevanion and finds herself drawn into a web of marriage, duty, and friendship. With keen observation, the narrator describes inside views of an aristocratic house, the voices of house staff, and the uneasy balance between independence and obedience that defines life in a grand country home.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
