The Lady's Maid
"In 1929, Yorkshire lass Rosina Harrison became personal maid to Lady Astor: the first female Member of Parliament to take her seat and wife of one of England's wealthiest lords. Lady Astor was brilliant yet tempestuous, but outspoken Rose gave as good as she got. For 35 years, the battle of wills and wits raged between the two women, until an unlikely friendship began to emerge. "The Lady's Maid" is a captivating insight into the great wealth 'upstairs' but also the endless work 'downstairs', but it is Rose's unique relationship with Lady Astor that makes this book a truly enticing read"--Publisher's description.

The Rose in Winter
What if the one that got away comes back? Barbara Delahay?s past returns to haunt her in this compelling novel of romantic suspense. 1929. 17-year-old Barbara Delahay was a beauty, a young and untouched English rose, enjoying the social whirl of the debutante season. It was inevitable she would attract male attention. However, Barbara caught the eye of someone charismatic but wholly unsuitable. Someone damaged. Drawn under his spell, she almost succumbed, but escaped just in time to marry the decent but dull Brigadier Govan, a man 25 years her senior. Now in 1953, the day of the new Queen?s coronation, in an empty house with the rain rushing down the windows, the widowed Barbara is cowering in fear. For she knows who?s out there, calling her name, seeking her out ? Her past has returned to claim her, and this time it won?t be so easy to deny.
Gentlemen's Gentlemen
You've read tales of lady's maids and cooks, housekeepers and nannies, but now it's time to hear from the other side of life as a servant. From the lamp boy to the butler, here are the fascinating storis from the men below stairs. This treasure-trove of memories, collected together by Rosina Harrison, bestselling author of The Lady's Maid, includes the night the ill-fated Edward VIII came to dinner; the time Charlie Chaplin scandalised the servants with his 'familiar' behaviour - and the occasion when a hot potato dropped down a lady's décolletage at a veryexclusive supper party . . .
Rose: My Life in Service to Lady Astor
In 1928, Rosina Harrison arrived at the illustrious household of the Astor family to take up her new position as personal maid to the infamously temperamental Lady Nancy Astor, who sat in Parliament, entertained royalty, and traveled the world. "She's not a lady as you would understand a lady" was the butler's ominous warning. But what no one expected was that the iron-willed Lady Astor was about to meet her match in the no-nonsense, whip-smart girl from the country. For 35 years, from the parties thrown for royalty and trips across the globe, to the air raids during WWII, Rose was by Lady Astor's side and behind the scenes, keeping everything running smoothly. In charge of everything from t...
Actor-Musicianship
Actor-musicianship is a permanent feature of the musical theatre landscape. Actor-musician shows can be seen from Bradford to Broadway, from village halls to international arena tours. However, with the exception of a couple of academic papers, there has been nothing written about this fascinating area of theatre practice. Jeremy Harrison's book addresses this deficit, operating as both a record of the development of the actor-musician movement and as a practical guide for students, educators, performers and practitioners. It explores the history of actor-musicianship, examining its origins, as well as investigating – and offering guidance on – how this specialist form of music theatre i...
Rose-Coloured Love
From New York Times best-selling author Thea Harrison comes a vintage contemporary romance, as originally published under the pen name Amanda Carpenter in 1987. Devan Richardson is a gifted author with a successful career, until heartbreak derails all her plans. Convinced she can’t continue to write about love when she’s been so badly betrayed by it, she quits. Retreating to her sister’s secluded home in rural Maine, Devan nurses her wounds while struggling to figure out who she is, if not an author, and how to move forward. Ryan Forrester doesn’t know why Devan decided to quit writing, but he’s not going to let her throw her future away without a fight. He’s been an editor long enough to recognize her talent, and her editor long enough to form a connection with the headstrong author. He’s not ready to give up on her, even if she’s given up on herself. Tracking Devan down is easy. Getting her to open up is not. But Ryan is determined, and he’s not going to let Devan turn her back on writing, or on love.
