This companion volume to Persephone Book No. 8, "Good Evening, Mrs
Craven", contains ten stories describing aspects of British life in
the years after the war. "Minnie's Room" itself is about a family
who are unable to believe that their maid wants to leave them to
live in a room of her own. An elderly couple emigrates because of
'the dragon out to gobble their modest, honourable incomes.' The
sisters in "Beside the Still Waters" grumble because 'Everything is
so terribly difficult nowadays.'Mollie Panter - Downes, said the
Spectator, 'is discomfortingly good at anatomising the crudities
and subtleties of snobbery - but she is never unkind.'
