Rated 0

Fiction, Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)

THE novel for fans of period drama. If you watched Downton Abbey, Cranford and Larkrise to Candleford, this is the book for you.

Eve Williams is about to discover just how the other half really live...

Yorkshire 1904. Above stairs: Lord Hoyland keeps his considerable fortune ticking over with the profits from his three coal mines in the vicinity. It's just as well the coal is of the highest quality as the upkeep of Netherwood Hall, his splendid estate on the outskirts of town, doesn't come cheap. And that's not to mention the cost of keeping his wife and daughters in the latest fashions - and keeping the heir to the Hoyland wealth, the charming but feckless Tobias, out of trouble.

Below stairs: Eve Williams is the wife of one of Lord Hoyland's most stalwart employees. When her ordered existence amid the terraced rows of the miners' houses is brought crashing down by the twin arrivals of tragedy and charity, Eve must look to her own self-sufficiency and talent to provide for her three young children. And it's then that 'upstairs' and 'downstairs' collide in truly dramatic fashion...
