Maisie Dobbs is a pretty remarkable woman, the kind I can imagine people in her world would want to be. Shes a little outrageous for her time, the kind of lady who dares to challenge the expectations of her class and gender, which is just the kind of character I like.
Were introduced to Maisie as shes setting up shop to be her own business, in the aftermath of WWI after everyone should be recovered from the war. Its one of those things thats felt but never said, that everyone who was involved in the war should be over it. At one point in the book one character mentions that we like our soldiers to parade around victorious in their uniforms after the war, but we dont want to see them as they convalesce, and that rings true to me about most tragedies. To an extent, its the theme of this book have the horror swept under the rug. Out of sight, out of mind.
