Looking back to your previous books, are there any characters that you have written that you would like to have cross paths with Maisie again?
Jacqueline Winspear
Hi Paula, There are so many characters I'd like to revisit, however, it's not always possible to do that within the confines of a particular story. I liked Pascale, the young girl in PARDONABLE LIES - I'd like to see how she's grown and how much like her aunt she is. And I like Mark Scott, the American in JOURNEY TO MUNICH. If I like a character, I tend to bring them back at some point, if possible. Robert MacFarlane, the senior policeman who is now working for the Secret Service is a case in point.

This is your most powerful writing. The way you look at life will be forever etched in my mind. [Not enough space allowed for the entire quote.] "For her part, Maisie knew that each day had to be taken as it came, and to do her work she must be flexible, to move the fabric of time as one might if sewing a difficult seam she had to break down time itself.... was this based from personal observation or experiences?
