Hi this is Betsy from Otto’s. I just treated myself to a book by one of my favorite authors, Jacqueline Winspear. A Lesson in Secrets is the eighth in the Maisie Dobbs series of novels—which I hesitate to call mysteries because they are so much more than mysteries. They are elegantly etched pictures of English life just after the First World War. The class structure is easing up to let those who were once considered lower class rise to the level of their ambition. The old notions of “women’s work” and “proper behavior” are giving way to the needs of a wounded though victorious nation. And, in this book, especially, you can see the political unrest that is going to become a factor in the decision to go to war again. And, oh yes, there is a mystery to be solved and characters to care about and a very talented sleuth who uses her understanding of psychology to identify the killer. A Lesson in Secrets—a full course reading experience! You’ll find it at Otto’s, a booklover’s paradise in the heart of Downtown Williamsport. |
