Kizzy

by Julie Harris

Sometimes life can be hell.


Winstone Manor, Maginley Estate, Suffolk. England, 1964.


The Maginley’s maid, Millie, has ‘disappeared’ and they hope her body will never be found. Desperate for a replacement, the Maginleys turn to Kizzy.


Kizzy is 15, has never had a job before, nor has she ever been to school, but she can cook, she can clean, she can play the part to perfection.


The Maginleys think the new maid won’t be the ‘problem’ that Millie was. They realize, too late, that Kizzy is a nightmare in disguise.


She wants to be the lady of the manor and what Kizzy wants, Kizzy always gets.
