I became aware of you at the Diablo Bookstore in Walnut Creek where I bought your first book. Been hooked ever since! I wondered were you in England during any of WW II aftermath. If so did this influence your books?
Jacqueline Winspear
I was born and raised in England, though I'm a bit young for the immediate aftermath of WW2. I would point out, though, that there were still bomb sites in London for many years following the war - indeed, it was the development of the London docklands areas in the late 1980's and later preparations for the 2012 Olympics that saw the end of the last bomb sites. My parents lived through that war though, and my grandparents through WW1.

Less of a question and more of a 'kudos/thank you'. The internet is such an amazing tool. Thank you and the other creators for making yourselves available and using your time and effort to share with others. I have purchased The Care and Management of Lies and am looking forward to reading it during my holiday next week (even though it's not a Maisie Dobbs book :) I wish you all the best, Annie

Not so much a question as a THANK YOU since I am currently reading your next to last ... and just said yesterday that I hoped you were writing another one! I appreciate the history/plotting but most of all the eloquent characterization ... A LESSON IN SECRETS was astonishingly timely, given the rise of fascism now. Are you already thinking about your NEXT episode?
