Longbourn by Jo Baker

I enjoyed it and not really because of the P and P connection but because it shows how the upstairs and downstairs worlds exist next to each other and do not in essence really meet. The limitations to the lives of women, the social rules, the cruelty of war, the problem of cutting out a life of your own whether living upstairs or downstairs, and the role of love when it gets a chance, I liked the way all these aspects were part of the story, and a story well-told
