The servants take center stage in this irresistibly imagined
belowstairs answer to "Pride and Prejudice." While Elizabeth Bennet
and her sisters fuss over balls and husbands, Sarah, their orphaned
housemaid, is beginning to chafe against the boundaries of her
class. When a new footman arrives at Longbourn under mysterious
circumstances, the carefully choreographed world she has known all
her life threatens to be completely, perhaps irrevocably, upended.
Mentioned only fleetingly in Jane Austen's classic, here Jo Baker
dares to take us beyond the drawing rooms of Regency England and,
in doing so, uncovers the real world of the novel that has
captivated readers' hearts around the world for generations.
