Synopsis
In this vivid memoir Lesley Lewis gives a fascinating account of life in an English country house between the wars, based on her own recollections of Pilgrim's Hall in Essex. By concentrating on social and domestic details, and on everyday events and objects, she offers a rare insight into family relationships and into the running of the household. The result is an intriguing and original glimpse into the recent English past, and into the routines and traditions of a lost way of life.
