Hello Readers, the book I'd like to suggest for the month of January might be of interest to fans of Downton Abbey: Rose: My Life in Service to Lady Astor, by Rosina Harrison.
This book is a renewal of Rosina Harrison's 1976 memoir about Rose's longtime employer, Nancy, Lady Astor, an American heiress who married into the British aristocracy. Rose, who served as Lady Astor's personal maid for 35 years, was a Yorkshire girl, born in a village near the town of Ripon. While much is left unsaid, Rose gives plenty of fascinating details of the daily working life of a lady's maid in pre-war, wartime, and postwar Britain.
