Sandi asked Jacqueline Winspear:

I read your book because our librarian had an idea to go on a blind date with a book so I took yours home and read it and liked it how did you come across Maiise Dobbs .she is a great character did you know a pi like her?

Lihsa
Lihsa asked Jacqueline Winspear:

What inspired you to create Maisie Dobbs? Was she modeled after anyone or is she just a version of our better selves, that we all aspire to be?

Sandra Sebastian
Sandra Sebastian asked Jacqueline Winspear:

I wonder if Masie Hobbs is going to confront the horrors of WWII at all, the Nazis etc.? I feel for people who had to go through not only one but two world wars! I really enjoy your books and I like learning what it was like for people back then. My losses were in WWII as a child in England.
