Minding the Manor: The Memoir of a 1930s English Kitchen Maid by Mollie Moran
4.0
I found this fascinating. The details of the life of a maid, and the history of England in the 30s was really interesting. I loved the description of London, especially Speaker's Corner. I had a similar experience there and enjoyed reading about what it used to be.
The only thing that didn't really work for me was dips into sentimentality. No one is perfect, even the best people we know. It is frustrating to hear how perfect some people in her life were. It strips them of their humanity. I'm also bothered by the comments about how easy things are now and how nothing is quite as good as it used to be.
