The Spanish Civil War dominated international news in the late 1930's but was completely eclipsed by WW II and has been largely forgotten in North America. The changes in Maisie's life through the books keep the series from being predictable.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-60038834587817835912020-02-29T17:15:15.025-06:002020-02-29T17:15:15.025-06:00I like the way Winspear allows Maisie to have tro...I like the way Winspear allows Maisie to have troubles, faults, and so on, Bill. At the same time, she isn't hopelessly caught in her own web, so to speak. That's a tricky balance, and I give Winspear credit for that. It's interesting that the focus is on the Spanish Civil War, too; I think that gets a bit less attention than the World Wars or even Korea or Vietnam. I'm glad Maisie is continuing to evolve as the series does.Margot Kinberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08599589137890528065noreply@blogger.com
