More troubled than Maisie but still a strong female forged in the two world wars. Lots of struggling with grief and trauma.

I eagerly awaited the next Maisie Dobbs mystery, so I was disappointed to learn this story had a different protagonist. However, I enjoyed this book so much. Miss White is an intriguing character, and the various timelines (WWI, WWII, 1947) were equally interesting. This book didn't have some of the depth I'm used to from some Maisie Dobbs stories, but it still had plenty of emotional moments. This book could stand alone or be the start of a new series. I will read more if this series continues.
