Longbourn

Summary: "A brilliantly imagined, irresistible below-stairs answer to PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. The servants at Longbourn estate take centre stage in this lively, cunning new novel. Here are the Bennets as we have never known them: seen through the eyes of those scrubbing the floors, cooking the meals, emptying the chamber pots. Our heroine is Sarah, an orphaned housemaid beginning to chafe against the boundaries of her class. When the militia marches into town, a new footman arrives under mysterious circumstances, and Sarah finds herself the object of the attentions of an ambitious young former slave working at neighbouring Netherfield Hall."--Publisher.
