\'Utterly engrossing\' Guardian
It is wash-day for the housemaids at Longbourn House, and Sarah\'s hands are chapped and raw. Domestic life below stairs, ruled with a tender heart and an iron will by Mrs Hill the housekeeper, is about to be disturbed by the arrival of a new footman, bearing secrets and the scent of the sea.

\'Highly recommended\'
\'Very enjoyable exploration of the background to Pride and Prejudice\'
Rezension:
"Inspired...Baker has written an intoxicating love story but, also like Austen, the pleasure of her novel lies in its wit and fierce intelligence. Longbourn is a profound exploration of injustice, of poverty and dependence, of loyalty...a novel that contrives both to provoke the intellect and, ultimately, to stop the heart" Guardian
