Arriving on the nice homes of 1920s London, fifteen-year-old Margaret’s life in service was about to start…
As a kitchen maid – the bottom of the low – she entered a wholly new world; one in all stoves to be blacked, greens to be scrubbed, mistresses to be appeased, and even bootlaces to be ironed. Work began at 5.30am and went on till after darkish. It was a far cry from her childhood on the seashores of Hove, the place cash and meals have been scarce, however heat and laughter by no means have been.
But from the gentleman with a penchant for stroking the housemaids’ curlers, to raucous tea-dances with errand boys, to the heartbreaking story of Agnes the pregnant under-parlourmaid, fired for being seduced by her mistress’s nephew, Margaret’s tales of her time in service are informed with wit, heat, and a pointy eye for the prejudices of her state of affairs.
Brilliantly evoking the long-vanished world of masters and servants, Under Stairs is the exceptional true story of an indomitable girl, who, although her place was lowly, by no means stopped aiming excessive.
