    Description

    It's summer, and the world is on the cusp of change, but there's little sign of this in rural Sussex. So when Kitty Allen answers an advert looking for 'a good plain cook', she has no idea what she's in for. Her employer is an American called Ellen Steinberg who believes in having the staff call her by her first name and sunbathing in the nude.
