Title and author visible in the photograph; the institutional description of Co przemilczałam also refers to Daisy’s earlier memoirs. The link provides context for the series rather than a record for this edition.

Questions for further research

  1. What does the author disclose, and what does she indicate she has omitted?
  2. How does her account of life in the residence compare with accounts of servants’ work at Książ?
Reading notes
