A fifty-year-old English housekeeper looks back over thirty years of running a home, most of them steadied by her indispensable Ruth. Chapter by chapter she takes on the cook, the housemaid, the tradesmen, the dinner party, the jobbing gardener, the doctor and the children, with a husband named James always in the background.
Sharp, understated domestic humour for anyone who has ever managed a household. Download the free EPUB.
