MAISIE DOBBS by Jacqueline Winspear

The summer season at the Door County Library starts Tuesday, June 1 with the summer reading program, Water Your Mind, and the discussion of an English mystery story, Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear. The story is set in 1929 and involves the emotional and physical effects of injuries that occured during World War I. Maisie herself is a very strong, intelligent and independent character, and suffers her share of tragedy and effects from the war. This novel has a strong sense of time and place, the London of 1929. What makes it really interesting is how many of the novel's themes are very pertinent to today.
