I hated all the nonsense about her dating and personal life. Such a powerful character reduced to what? Someone's wife and mother (and in those days it was expected she'd not work)? I had given up on the series after Elegy to Eddie but reading this review, I"m glad she's back. I'll have to pick it up again. <br /><br />(I really like how WWI weighed so heavily on the characters in the first four or five novels...it really showed the devastation to an entire generation and we forget that, I think. It's equally interesting to see WWII looming on the horizon in the last couple of books).

I do wish you had begun with the first one though, because I really do believe you would have enjoyed the series. Your fried is right - Birds of a Feather is one you would have loved. Oh well, we can't all love the same books, right?Nadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315207186180201488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892722103504759154.post-53764872912830875172015-03-19T21:08:05.188-04:002015-03-19T21:08:05.188-04:00The problem for me was coming to Maisie too late. ...The problem for me was coming to Maisie too late. Everyone loves her, but me! I know I should have begun with the first, or as my friend says, with Birds of a Feather, but I simply could not finish A Dangerous Place. Glad it worked for you, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
