wonderwomand asked Jacqueline Winspear:

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?

Jacqueline Winspear Diane, I don't think I am ever going to publish Maurice's syllabus. I might develop something from his wisdom and counsel to Maisie, but not the syllabus.

I loved the characters and was sad to see the book end. Will we see them again?

Elaine Day Neal asked Jacqueline Winspear:

Now that Maisie's dad is happily married will she look to finding her own happiness with a life partner? A man who will support her independence and yet show his own fortitude. They must be a formidable pair so that all her fans can respect them both.

Laura asked Jacqueline Winspear:

When you visit a place that will be a setting in your novel, what is your research process and what do you look for to bring the place to life on the page?
