Longbourn (2013)
Book
Published
A clean gown and a hot meal require somebody else's hands. Baker follows Sarah, a housemaid in the Bennet household, through the physical work that Pride and Prejudice leaves largely outside the drawing room. Her attractions and ambitions matter as much as the family upstairs, while other servants have priorities of their own. Start here for an absorbing domestic story in which a familiar world changes once you ask who washes its linen.
