Rosie Clarke now has a presence on the Ebury website. There is a bio, a picture of me and the announcement of the new book, coming next year. I think about May 2014 but I will update the website as news comes in about progress.
THE DOWNSTAIRS MAID
BY
ROSIE CLARKE
This is the story of a young girl growing up on her father's smallholding in the Fens. Emily doesn't truly think about being poor, except when she has to hide under the kitchen table so that the tallyman doesn't know anyone is home. So when she meets the children from the Big House on their ponies on the day she learns that her father wants a son more than anything else in the world, it comes as a shock to be described as a dirty little farm girl.
Emily learns to accept her place in the world when she goes to work in the Big House. She is just a servant and can look no higher...or can she?
Set against a rural background in the years before and during WW1 this is the story of a girl who strives to make something of herself, yet gives selflessly of her love and herself.
Coming next year from Ebury books!
