Summary
Enid Elliot Linder was the daughter of a butler and a lady’s maid in service in some of England’s grandest country houses.
Evoking the lost world of a childhood ‘below stairs’, Linder’s touching memoir describes how her life changed as Britain headed towards war.
After the family moved to a Marylebone tenement, her father sought work in London restaurants whilst battling personal demons. Meanwhile Linder’s aunt was nanny to a high-ranking member of the British Union of Fascists as they grew in influence.
In a photorealistic and immensely charming narrative reminiscent of Patrick Hamilton, Linder evokes the sights and smells of prewar London - and of lonely Cornwall, to where she was unhappily evacuated - in a way that will appeal to fans of Call the Midwife or Downton Abbey. A unique personal account of a tumultuous time.

Very Historical
Beautifully written and wonderfully narrated. Going into vast detail of how people lived prior to WW2. Well researched and a wonderful listen. Lovers of Downton Abbey should find this a joy. Following the lives of a working class family. Employed in service. And the threat of looming war.

A fascinating insight into times gone by
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to and learning about the stories from below the stairs and from a family’s struggles in pre war Britain. Thank you
