![]() ![]() Ten years after the Armistice, in the spring of 1929, Maisie sets out on her own as a private investigator, one who has learned that coincidences are meaningful, and truth elusive. Maisie trained as a nurse, then left for France to serve at the Front, where she found-and lost-an important part of herself. Lady Rowan's friend, Maurice Blanche, often retained as an investigator by the European elite, recognized Maisie’s intuitive gifts and helped her earn admission to the prestigious Girton College in Cambridge, where Maisie planned to complete her education. Her employer, suffragette Lady Rowan Compton, soon became her patron, taking the remarkably bright youngster under her wing. Maisie Dobbs got her start as a maid in an aristocratic London household when she was thirteen. Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air, on Maisie Dobbs "A female investigator every bit as brainy and battle-hardened as Lisbeth Salander." ![]()
