Minding the Manor: The Memoir of a 1930s English Kitchen Maid by Mollie Moran

3.0

Memoir of the “downstairs” life of a scullery maid who starts work at 14 and lives through the changes to the British class system that came about during WW I and II. She is a woman with a wonderful personality and spirit and her story is fun to read. Only jarring issue was the modern-day slang and language used that didn’t feel authentic. Good background story for Downton Abbey fans.
