WOW. Absolutely my favorite Maisie Dobbs book yet!! This book is so incredibly well written, with wonderful plot points and new characters are introduced and splendidly played out. The characters are grappling with the idea of "This War" meaning WWII, rather than the Great War, and struggling to find their new place in this era. It's a beautiful opening to a new season of Maise's life, and I can't wait for the newest book!
