The specific way that a rural community's loyalty can become a mechanism for protecting injustice; Maisie's particular ability to find the truth in communities that don't want to share it
What this book is about
Maisie Dobbs goes to a small village in Kent to assess properties on behalf of a client — and finds a community with a long memory of an event from the war that has never been properly resolved. A series of mysterious fires and a hostility toward outsiders suggests the village is still protecting itself from something. Jacqueline Winspear's fifth Maisie Dobbs novel is the most focused on rural England's particular way of holding secrets — the closed community that protects itself from the outside world and from its own past.
