One Pair of Hands

After being expelled from drama schools and exhausted by the deb party circuit, Monica Dickens takes on the role of cook-general for the English upper classes. While frantically trying to cook and clean for a succession of employers -- the abusive bachelor fashion designer, the spatting newlyweds, the elusive Lady W. and her vast country estate, and the almost too-kind Vaughan family, among others -- she subjects herself to all the degradations and delights of life as a servant in England in the 1930s.
