MAISIE DOBBS
Penguin Books
ISBN: 0142004332


Reading Group Guide

"[A] deft debut novel... Romantic readers sensing a story-within-a-story won't be disappointed. But first they must be prepared to be astonished at the sensitivity and wisdom with which Maisie resolves her first professional assignment."
The New York Times


"The reader familiar with Alexander McCall Smith's The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency... might think of Maisie Dobbs as its British counterpart.... Winspear, who intends to write a series featuring Maisie Dobbs, has created a winning character about whom readers will want to read more."
The Associated Press


"[Maisie Dobbs] catches the sorrow of a lost generation in the character of one exceptional woman."
The Chicago Tribune

"A good second novel is one that like BIRDS OF A FEATHER, makes you want to read its predecessor."
The New York Times Book Review


"BIRDS OF A FEATHER succeeds both as a suspenseful mystery and as a picture of a time and place."
The Boston Globe


"[If you] were a fan of the 1970s BBC program Upstairs, Downstairs, you'll love Winspear's BIRDS OF A FEATHER."--This text refers to the Paperback edition."
