Jacqueline Winspear:
What are your sources for the details of the period you write about? Do you interview people who lived in England and Europe during the wars? I appreciate your personalizing the war with strong characters who represent what people endured during that period.
Jacqueline Winspear
Hello Jean, I have many sources for the details of the period I write about. I grew up with people who lived through both wars, so I am very familiar with their stories of the period. In addition, I visit archives to read letters and reports written during the period, and I pay attention to language and the social mores of the day.

Hi Ms. Jacqueline Winspear, In the last book of the Maise Dobbs series, Leaving Everything Most Loved do you think the various partners for separated "twin loves" is what truly happens to most people? Did you create the portion about some souls having different destinations or is this based on some specific twin myth? If so which version?
