The Short Life & Long Times of Mrs. Beeton by Kathryn Hughes

3.0

I have the Book of Household Management on my kindle but have only ever dipped in briefly. The background of this book will make it far more interesting.

Mrs Beeton and the whole franchise give some fascinating background to the Victorian age, and it's a very readable book, even if you're not into cooking or the publishing industry.
