October's Books




It’s 1899 and the Earl of Dilberne is threatened with financial ruin. His daughter, Rosina, is a radical who keeps a parrot in her room. Son Arthur, although enamored of his mistress, will pay court on Minnie, an American heiress to a meat fortune.
Weldon wrote the original screenplay of “Upstairs, Downstairs”—fans of Downton Abbey will love this saucy look at the family and their servants.
 

Behind the Scenes at Downton Abbey by Emma Rowley
Below Stairs: the classic kitchen maid's memoir that inspired "Upstairs, Downstairs" and "Downton Abbey" by Margaret Powell
Habits of the House by Fay Weldon
Rumpole a la Carte by John Mortimer
The Nature of the Beast by Louise Penny
