Baker J. (2014). Longbourn. Random House.
This revisit to Jane Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice pushes the upper class characters to the back and instead shows us the lives and concerns of the people who keep the Bennet house running: the servants.
Told from the point of view of Sarah, a housemaid, this novel lets us see the other side of the the stairs to give us an understanding of what life for those not lucky enough to be born into the nobility.
