Starting the series and happy for the future

 Maisie Dobbs

by Jacqueline Winspear

By reading the series out of order (#5 first) I already knew all the backstory that was going to be related in this, the first. Or maybe not quite all--there were a couple of conflicted relationships she refers to later on that have not been explained. I'll have to wait on those.

According to her afterword, written on the anniversary of the first publication of this book, she plotted the entire book in her head while stuck in traffic on the way to her day job, in California. I don't know what happened next, but she may as well have quit her day job right then and there. And write these books.

Hurray for series!
