Longbourn
by Jo Baker
Backstairs at Pride and Prejudice(4/20/2024)
Jo Baker is simply brilliant. This book explores the feelings and thoughts of the servants in the Bennett household and "reveals" a secret kept. The writing is completely perfect for the subject and time, without jarring, inappropriate language, idiom or opinions. You feel …more that you are truly hearing the thoughts of servants in Austen's era.(less)
