Below stairs : the classic kitchen maid's memoir that inspired "Upstairs, downstairs" and "Downton Abbey" / by Powell, Margaret,1907-1984.(CARDINAL)711388;
"A kitchen-maid's through-the-key hole memoir of life in the great houses of England--now a bestseller in the UK. At fifteen, she arrived at the servants' entrance to begin her life as a kitchen maid in 1920s England. The lowest of the low, her world was one of stoves to be blacked, vegetables to be scrubbed, mistresses to be appeased, and even bootlaces to be ironed. Work started at 5:30am and went on until after dark. In this captivating memoir, Margaret tells her tales of service with wit, warmth, and a sharp eye. From the gentleman with a penchant for stroking housemaids' curlers, to raucous tea dances with errand boys, to the heartbreaking story of Agnes the pregnant under-parlourmaid, fired for being seduced by her mistress's nephew, Below Stairs brilliantly evokes the longvanished world of masters and servants portrayed in Downton Abbey and Upstairs, Downstairs. Rocketing back on to the UK bestseller lists almost fifty years after its initial publication, this is the remarkable true story of an indomitable woman, who, though her position was lowly, never stopped aiming high"--

The way we die now : the view from medicine's front line / by O'Mahony, Seamus,author.(CARDINAL)350460;
"We have lost the ability to deal with death. Most of the dying spend their last days in general hospitals and nursing homes, in the care of strangers. They may not even know they are dying, victims of the kindly lie that there is still hope. They are often robbed of their dignity after a long series of excessive and hopeless medical interventions. This is the starting point of Seamus O'Mahony's book on the Western way of death. Dying has never been more exposed, with public figures writing detailed memoirs of their illnesses, but in private we have done our best to banish all thought of death. Dying has become medicalized and sanitized, but doctors cannot prescribe a 'good death.' [This book] asks us to consider how we have gotten to this age of spiritual poverty and argues that giving up our fantasies of control over death can help restore its significance."--Jacket.What do I know? -- Hidden death -- A hesitation to be brave -- How the poor die -- Deathology -- Celebrity cancer ward -- A passion for control -- To philosophize is to learn how to die -- Live for ever -- Creatureliness -- Epilogue: Some modest proposals.Includes bibliographical references (pages 277-292).

Sadie's prize [large print] / by Daley, Margaret.(CARDINAL)355134;
Sadie Spencer would stop at nothing to help her students. Even if it meant winning a date with one of Oklahoma's most eligible bachelors, Andrew Knight, to get him to listen to their needs. But on their "date," Sadie quickly saw that Andrew was more than the cold businessman she'd assumed he was, and he had a lot more to offer than mere money. Experience had taught Andrew that he didn't need anyone in his life. Until Sadie began to show him that he could make a difference in her students' lives - and in hers. But though the walls he'd built around his heart were slowly crumbling, would he ever find the courage to make peace with his past so that he could be not only Sadie's prize...but her husband?
