Anna, a young countess, has lived in the glittering city of St Petersburg all her life. But when revolution tears Russia apart, her family is forced to flee to England. Armed with an out-of-date book on housekeeping, Anna determines to become a housemaid and she finds work at the Earl of Westerholme's crumbling but magnificent mansion.

The staff and the family are sure there is something not quite right about their new maid - but she soon wins them over with her warmth and dedication. Then the young Earl returns home from the war - and Anna falls hopelessly in love. But they can never be together: Rupert is engaged to the snobbish and awful Muriel - and anyway, Anna is only a servant. Or so everybody thinks...©2007 Eva Ibbotson (P)2007 Recorded Books Literature & Fiction

Solange Davina Porter liest, höre ich mit großem Vergnügen zu!

Auch wenn die Geschichte etwas vorhersehbar ist. Halt ein typischer Frauen-Historienroman. Unterhaltsam, mit wunderschönen Beschreibungen wie einst alte englische Herrenhaus funktionierte, aber viel Teifgang sollte man nicht erwarten. Aber dafür hört man solche Bücher auch nicht.

Geschichte soso, Sprecherin toll!
