Marilyn Dodds asked Jacqueline Winspear:

I truly love your books, both the Maisie Dobbs series and the stand alone, Care and Management of Lies, but I echo another questioner when I ask-why so much sadness and loss? Do you feel that it is more realistic, more true to life that everyone loses everyone they love? Will there ever be a happily ever after?

Jacqueline Winspear Marilyn - go back to the response to that earlier question, as the answer is there. Thank you for asking!

Huge fan of Maisie Dobbs. My question is two part. When Maurice Blanche took Maisie on as a student when she was 13, she was assigned to read various books from different subjects. I wondered if you will have a list of Maurice Blanche's syllabus or an example like a similar syllabus in one of your future newsletters?
