At that rate, she only needs 3999 more weeks (77 YEARS) of those crushing sales numbers to reach a million...

THIS book is really good! Somebody at the YMCA gave me this a couple of years ago and I stuck it in my bookshelf. I figured I'd get around to it eventually. Well, I grabbed it the other day and it's very good. The author's second book. It's all about 1914 in the town of Rye in Sussex and the start of The Great War. I seem to be in a period where I'm reading a lot of these English books about young women from this time period and the Twenties and the Interwar Period....the Maisie Dobbs series....The Painted Veil... plus last summer I binge-watched eight seasons of Downton Abbey from the Public Library....!!! next I will send for Ken Follett's FALL OF GIANTS.... |

Well this book was fantastic! I will have to get Meghan to read this. It would be the perfect launching pad to begin reading the Maisie Dobbs series. Well these two books arrived yesterday in the same package. I guess I accidentally ordered them from the same place and didn't realize it. So now I will start on A DANGEROUS PLACE....but the Maisie Dobbs series continues on thru time and after starting out in 1910 we are now in 1937.... Edited by Son of Ed - May/12/2022 at 20:43 |

As you remembered from our last episode Maisie Dobbs is returning reluctantly to England from her sojourn in India when she decides to delay her arrival in England by disembarking at Gibraltar. She is suddenly embroiled in a murder case when she accidentally stumbles---literally---over the body of a murder victim. Soon she is up to her neck in a mystery with the British Secret Service, The Gibraltar Police Force, Communists, and the Spanish Civil War! It is April 1937. Guernica has just been bombed. |

Well, I started it. It's real good. I thought it was going to be real ponderous but it's excellent. And when I'm not actually reading it I can lift it up over my head and do exercises with it. |

Well WAR AND PEACE was superb. It wasn't written in Russian after all! I couldn't put it down.
Now back to Maisie... Britain's Secret Service wheedles Maisie into doing "one last job"....all she's got to do is go to Germany ( February 1938 ) and retrieve a British subject being held at Dachau in an Exchange deal with the Third Reich. Piece of cake....but, of course, she's got to go under an assumed name with phony passport and papers and pose as the prisoner's daughter, whom the man has not seen in two years, in order to get him out of that Hellhole. What could possibly go wrong? Edited by Son of Ed - May/23/2022 at 09:39 |

Maisie's great-great grandfather was an Italian Jew and her grandmother was a Gypsy. |
