«Longbourn» is the historical novel by Jo Baker, published by Vintage in paperback (443 pages, in English).
During the events of «Pride and Prejudice», the action focuses on the servants of Longbourn who barely appear in Austen's work. Sarah, an orphaned housemaid, washes and attends to the Bennets under Mrs. Hill's discipline until the arrival of a new footman with secrets disrupts the household.
Set in Regency England (1811-1820), it was nominated for the RUSA CODES Reading List in the historical fiction category in 2014.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction and Jane Austen retellings who want to discover «Pride and Prejudice» from the servants' perspective.
