| Summary | "Our House and London out of Our Windows" by Elizabeth Robins Pennell is a memoir written in the early 20th century. The book provides an intimate look into life from the perspective of the author and her partner, as they navigate the challenges of domestic life and the quirks of their hired help in London. The focus on amusing and sometimes poignant anecdotes paints a vivid picture of their home and surroundings, allowing readers to explore both the beauty and difficulties of their experiences. The beginning of the narrative recounts the serendipitous journey the author and her partner undertake in search of a home, leading them to a charming residence on the Thames. As they settle in, the author introduces her first servant, 'Enrietter', who initially seems perfect but quickly leads to a series of dramatic and comical incidents that showcase the complexities of hiring help in London. The author reflects on her expectations versus the reality of domestic life, setting the stage for the many adventures, misadventures, and vibrant characters that populate their world as they seek to create a sense of home amidst the chaos of urban living.
