Summary

At just 14, Mollie Moran left the Norfolk countryside to take up a position in the kitchens of a stately London townhouse. Getting through the endless chores, sneaking out with her best friend Flo the kitchen maid to go dancing at night, and flirting with Alan the footman and Harrods errand boys, Mollie quickly rose through the ranks.

We see the “upstairs, downstairs” world through Mollie’s eyes: the politics and scandals, the friendships and secret liaisons, the many comings and goings. But soon the war would change Mollie’s world, and that of those she served, for ever.

Aprons and Silver Spoons

Great insight into "in-service" in the 1930s. Beautifully narrated - have bought the book and audio. Love the tips at the end of each chapter.
