England before World War II


I have been reading this excellent book, Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear. Maisie is a private investigator with an uncany ability to perceive more than the average PI. She opens her own business in London ten years after the end of World War I. Coming from a lower class family she is befriended by Lady Rowan because of her unusual intelligence. Part of the story is a flashback which provides the reader with a fuller understanding of the character. This story is written so well that I had trouble believing it was not a true story. It the first of a new series with Maisie as the lead character. Enjoy
