A Must Read

Revisado: 02-22-22

I have loved all three volumes of this stunning series and will read all of them again and use them for references. Highlighting key personalities and developing their character within the context of their time period makes the writing personal, intimated and riveting.

I Could Not Stop Listening

Revisado: 05-28-21

An Excellent Listen...LOVE the reader. She is completely captivating and one in spirit with the writing. There is so much to learn about pre- war England in this book and the later books. If I was still teaching Western Civ, I would suggest these series for summer reading for a history class. It would give depth, context and a sense of events for a history student of any age. Bravo, Jacqueline Winspear and Maisie, you have done it, again! xo

A Stunning Read

Revisado: 05-27-21

Each book in the Maisie Dobbs series is a little more complex. When I got to the end of Book 15, it felt like the most satisfying read, complete and satisfying. There is no hanging thread. Everything is woven back through the plot....and yet, What is next! Maisie, don't leave me! I am in love with this series, the cultural history, the plot, the characters. I really do thing this series needs to be produced on film through the PBS and Masterpiece. It is all so visceral and visual...Do it, Maisie! xo

Griffiths Tix All the Boxes

Revisado: 05-01-21

I love the characters in the this series. I can not help myself! Griffiths doesn't always satisfy in every single book but she ties up so many loose ends in, The Dark Angel. Whilst touching on current social problems of our era, she explores human nature from WWII, to Fascism, to present day Immigration, to racism encapsulated in a wonderful, full bodied plot that explores our changing moral compass and our shared human condition...don't miss it. It was a delightful read!

His Best

Revisado: 03-24-21

I love every moment of this book. The ancient agricultural customs, feats days to mark the year, reading of the stars, the reference to time, the characterizations filled up my heart once more. It is an all time favorite.

Breathless

Revisado: 03-24-21

After living in Austrian and in Italy for many years, I felt that I had read a fair amount of texts on the subject of the Final Solution. Nevertheless, this book left me breathless. The primary source material, the ability of the author to tell the story from many points of vuew and in many voices, was riveting. This is a must read book, told and read in the most profound way. It should on every school 20th century syllabus. I can not wait to read East West Street.
