The thing that distracted me was that the point of view kept changing and I couldn't figure out who the point of view was from. Good stories though.<br />AnnAnn Summervillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13300190648788509096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331783333799799045.post-38247284310342022232011-07-06T00:24:01.265-04:002011-07-06T00:24:01.265-04:00I am so glad you liked "your first Maisie&quo...I am so glad you liked "your first Maisie"!!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331783333799799045.post-74304670798589139112011-07-05T20:26:43.617-04:002011-07-05T20:26:43.617-04:00Barbara, I loved your review.

I love this era and I want to spend a lot of time going through each one. I wonder what it is about the decades before we were born that are so appealing to us.Margothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422981969760935118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331783333799799045.post-29916744643052607562011-07-05T15:21:28.494-04:002011-07-05T15:21:28.494-04:00Well, now that I have read the umpteenth rave abou...Well, now that I have read the umpteenth rave about Maisie Dobbs I have taken an important step - I have put the series on the list ;DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331783333799799045.post-77654795234938978192011-07-05T14:18:52.587-04:002011-07-05T14:18:52.587-04:00Jill, OMG, talking like LBJ?

Sounding like a 1930s Londoner is stiff and formal and Dave keeps saying, "What?"<br /><br />Kathy, I'm glad your mother is enjoying Maisie. Us older ladies appreciate hearing about days before our time. Makes us feel young, you know. :)Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04179027379034179865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331783333799799045.post-49379937342076098792011-07-05T13:31:16.266-04:002011-07-05T13:31:16.266-04:00A friend of mine gave me a couple Maisie books, bu...A friend of mine gave me a couple Maisie books, but I decided to let my mother read them first.

My husband is currently reading All The Pretty Horses and so I have to hear cowboy talk all the time ... which is way preferable, I might add, to when he was listening to the Lyndon Johnson tapes and all of the sudden kept saying the F word all the time (and my husband is someone who ordinarily NEVER uses those kinds of words!)
