Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Horace Lamb runs an austere household with tyrannical force and cruel economy. His five children shiver through the winter and learn that a fire is not a thing to be taken for granted. Hierarchies are more lightly enforced in the servants' quarters, where Bullivant and Mrs Selden attempt to rein in their young charges. When Horace suddenly turns attentive and caring, the real difficulties begin: the taut order of the household slackens, setting loose old grievances.Her own favourite among her novels, Manservant and Maidservant is Ivy Compton-Burnett at her laceratingly witty best.'Original, artful and elegant. To read her for the first time is a singular experience' - Hilary Mantel A ruthless satire of power struggles and petty economies, Manservant and Maidservant exposes the violence and cruelty at the core of Victorian family life. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781782278689
