The great-granddaughter of Charles Dickens, Monica Dickens has been writing novels and autobiographical books since she was twenty-two, when she wrote ONE PAIR OF HANDS about her experiences as a cook-general, the only job that her upbringing as a debutante had fitted her for.
From back cover:
ONE PAIR OF HANDS is an uproarious backstairs view of the English upper classes in moments of comedy, drama, selfishness, and childish pique. Here is fun, wit, malice and - in the face of the tartars who rule on both sides of the green baize door - courage.
