Description:... "Rosedale was the centre of Sarah Leake's world. Her journal, penned in the mid-nineteenth century when women led lives focussed on domesticity, reveals a close family and a diverse social network. Some were elite, some were not: daily life brought Sarah into contact with all classes. It gives an insight into the management of the house, the relationship between members of the family and their predominantly convict house servants, the requirements for daily life in an isolated rural setting, and the visiting and visitors associated with colonial socialising."--Back cover.
