If you are anything like me, you are a huge fan of BBC shows, especially Downton Abbey. This book started all these wonderful shows: a classic memoir about working in service during the 1920s. Powell’s voice is personal; you can imagine her speaking to you as you read. Slightly nostalgic and quite feisty, I can’t recommend this book highly enough.

Stay tuned for a Baking for Bookworms post from this book later this week!
