Product Description

The Sunday Telegraph

‘Athill hates mawkishness...and tells her tale with admirable dispassion, but she does bring a lump to the throat’


The Observer

'It is hard to imagine those quaint, class-riven days evoked with greater sensitivity and style'

5.0 out of 5 stars Upstairs & Downstairs - a child's perspective, 8 April 2002
This review is from: Yesterday Morning: A Very English Childhood (Hardcover)
Enormously interesting story of life for a young girl in a pre war country house environment and its impact on her life.She felt immensely priviledged to have had such a happy childhood in a world long since vanished and her stories from a child's vantage point of the "upstairs & downstairs" world are not to be missed.To me it is the genuine article warts and all! Very well written and absorbing I read it thru at one sitting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yesterday Morning - a very English childhood., 21 Jul 2009
By J. Shopland (Norfolk, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I absolutely loved reading this book. It is beautifully written - literary, but not too erudite. It would appeal to those who enjoy social history, as well as auto-bios. As the author is in her eighties, her life spans an interesting historical period. It is an excellent "holiday" book" - I read it, whilst away, in a couple of days. I have now bought and read a later book, concerning her older life, by the same author which I enjoyed equally.
