As the doors close on yet another all-too-brief season of Downton Abbey, we here at Open Road are pleased to offer you the perfect antidote to your withdrawal: a collection of our favourite brit lit ebooks by some of the finest authors from across the pond.
Our collection features beloved British classics such as Dorothy L. Sayers’s Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries, Mary Renault’s epic historical fiction, Barbara Pym’s witty social commentary, and much, much more. Moreover, each author highlighted just happens to be a true female literary pioneer—perfect timing to start the celebration of Women’s History Month in March.
Using Downton Abbey as our guide, we’ve separated these reads into three categories: upstairs, downstairs, and the trenches. So whether you’re looking to sip tea with the lords and ladies, hear the latest gossip from the maids, or join the troops, we have just the ebook for you.
