A review by kkonda
Lady's Maid by Margaret Forster

5.0

An incredible reimagining of the life of a marginal figure of history. The book is an account of the life of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's most faithful maid. Forster really makes the conflicts of servant and mistress, companion and intellectual, and life and art, real. I would unequivocally recommend this to any reader. I will be adding this with Jane Eyre and Memoirs of a Geisha to my annual reading list.
