Could she mean the first Maisie Dobbs book? Maisie grows up in service to a wealthy woman, if I recall right, who then gives her an education. It's a mystery series, though.
Actually, forget that -- if they were reviewing it, it's something new, I would imagine, and the Maisie Dobbs books aren't.
It sounds like Frances Osborne's "Park Lane".
I just scanned [link] but didn't see anything likely.
I am pretty sure it's the book I mentioned. I remember the interview.

Laura Ingalls Wilder's autobiography
Pioneer Girl
is going to be published.
And a nice slide show of an abandoned Walmart in Texas that has been converted into a library.
My niece liked A Brief History of Montmaray, although she didn't love it. I'm just pleased because she's not so much a historical fiction person.
That library is brilliant!
