The Maid's Tale: A Revealing Memoir of Life Below Stairs

0/5 ( ratings)

Born in 1910, Rose Plummer grew up in an East End slum, where she fought an unending battle with hunger and squalor.

At the age of fifteen, Rose started work as a live-in maid, and despite the poverty of her childhood, nothing could have prepared her for the long hours, the backbreaking work and the harshness of a world in which servants were treated as if they were less than human.

But however difficult life became, Rose found something to laugh about, and her remarkable spirit and gift for friendship shines through in her memories of a now-vanished world.

Language: English
