Ibbotson, Eva - A Countess Below Stairs : 400 pages, © 1983
Anna and her family, royalty all, are lucky to make it out of Revolutionary Russia alive, but they soon find themselve in England with no money, connections, or skills. Anna takes a job as a maid in an English household to support her family, and soon falls in love with the lord of the manor, recently returned from World War I, and engaged to a truly horrible woman.
Red Flags:
The evil bride supports eugenics fervently, so the issue is raised frequently (though in a negative light).
