Longbourn

Longbourn

by Jo Baker

Against the genteel backdrop of Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice', 'Longbourn' unfolds through the eyes of the servants who toil in obscurity. At the heart of the tale is Sarah, an orphaned housemaid whose daily grinds of laundry and chamber pots starkly contrast the glamorous world above stairs. But when a mysterious new footman arrives, carrying secrets as his baggage, the lives of the Longbourn staff teeter on the brink of upheaval. Jo Baker's narrative borrows the familiar setting to explore class divides, the unremitting fight for personal agency, and the hidden narratives of those in servitude during Regency England. Longbourn's belowstairs becomes a stage for its own tales of romance, ambition, and resilience, illuminating a side of classic literature seldom seen before.
