maccymacd's review against another edition
4.0
My first book finished in the new year. This was a lovely account of a lifetime in service in large society houses both as a kitchen maid then as a cook. Nancy Jackman was a really charming, lovely person with no airs or graces and I was besotted by her tales as she moved from job to job. It’s always so fascinating to me to see how things have changed from the beginning of the 20th century when it comes to servants to the later days. One thing is for sure though, they definitely didn’t earn enough money or respect and I find that terribly sad.
