Servants' Hall: A Real Life Upstairs, Downstairs Romance

I picked up this book because it was similar in nature to the TV show/series Downton Abbey which I thoroughly enjoy. However, this book wasn't as enjoyable and was more like a Diary of the author's time while in “service”. It was all about how she moved around in “service”, what the personalities of the other's “downstairs” were like and how the female servants tried to get out of service by getting married in various ways. I guess I just would rather have a well written story than a biography which is more like a diary.
