About the BookAfter being expelled from drama schools and exhausted by the deb party circuit, Monica Dickens takes on the role of cook––general for the English upper classes. While frantically trying to cook and clean for a succession of employers––the abusive bachelor fashion designer, the spatting newlyweds, the elusive Lady W. and her vast country estate, and the almost too-kind Vaughan family, among others––she subjects herself to all the degradations and delights of life as a servant in England in the 1930s. Reviews"Deserves a place among Dickensiana."––New York Herald Tribune "Riotously amusing."––The Times (London) |
