First, thank you for writing about a time period that I knew so little about! My question is about the history in your novels. How much research do you do before you begin a Maisie Dobbs story line?
Jacqueline Winspear
It's not prescriptive - I do as much research as is required, however, I have immersed myself in the period about which I write for a long, long time - long before I was a published author - so the research I have to do is very, very specific to the story. I have the background already.

Why does Maurice say to Maisie, turn to James he has always been there? James never seemed interested in Maisie before his return to England. He He and Maisie never really seemed to converse or be in the same area for longer than a fleeing momentum if ever. Why and how is it Maurice aware of this supposedly long held attraction?
