Come Out of the Kitchen (1916) is a novel by Alice Duer Miller.
Inspired by her work as an activist for women's rights, Miller
presents a romantic comedy exploring the effects of class and
gender on love, friendship, and work. Adapted for theater and film,
Come Out of the Kitchen is a charming novel from a writer whose
reputation as a popular poet should extend to her fiction as well.
Arriving in the South, Mr. Burton, a successful young businessman,
meets with a local real estate agent to inquire about renting a
property for the summer. Interested in an old mansion, he is eager
to sign the contract-only one strange detail prompts his
hesitation. If he would like to stay there, he will need to employ
the four domestic servants already living at the property.
Desperate to settle down, Burton agrees to meet with them first:
the butler, a kind and intelligent man; the cook, a beautiful
woman; the housemaid, a sullen young lady; and a young boy whose
job is to do everything else. Slightly unsettled by their manners
and accents, Burton agrees to keep them on and soon makes his way
to the mansion, where he immediately plans to host a small party of
friends. When the day of the party arrives, however, the behavior
of the servants begins to change. Come Out of the Kitchen is an
entertaining romantic comedy from Alice Duer Miller, whose
political work as a women's rights activist informs her characters
and their frequently humorous interactions. With a beautifully
designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition
of Alice Duer Miller's Come Out of the Kitchen is a classic of
American literature reimagined for modern readers.
