Climbing the Stairs by Margaret Powell
Working below stairs in 1920s London, sixteen-year-old Margarets mind turns to finding a man. But its hard to look beguiling when youre elbow deep in dishwater. . .
Margaret Powell was born in 1907 in Hove, and left school at the age of 13 to start working. At 14, she got a job in a hotel laundry room, and a year later went into service as a kitchen maid, eventually progressing to the position of cook, before marrying a milkman called Albert. In 1968 the first volume of her memoirs, Below Stairs, was published to instant success and turned her into a celebrity. She followed this up with Climbing the Stairs, The Treasure Upstairs and The Margaret Powell Cookery Book. She died in 1984.
