Description
Upstairs and Downstairs My Life in Service As a Lady's Maid is a fascinating memoir of life in the English aristocracy during the 1930s. Hilda Newman's unique insight into the life of one of Britain's most noble families offers a glimpse into a bygone era of wealth and glamour. In this memoir, Hilda recounts her experiences as a personal maid, from her humble beginnings in a small house with no bath or hot water to her life in an eighteenth-century mansion. Her story takes us back to a period of great change, as the foundations of British society were being shaken by the Second World War. The memoir also sheds light on the dramatic events that unfolded at Croome Court, where Hilda had lived and worked, including the arrival of the Dutch Royal Family fleeing Nazi occupation and the establishment of a top-secret RAF base.
