My mother had not seen her sister in years—in those days crossing the Atlantic was a very big deal, and the idea of jumping on a 'plane at the drop of a hat was only for the really rich, and I think even they thought twice about it. But when that card arrived, I remember thinking a lot about the distance between us, and what it must be like to leave your family, everyone you loved most in the world, and set off for a place so far away. It seemed at once daunting, yet exciting. I think it was then that the very first seeds of LEAVING EVERYTHING MOST LOVED, the new novel featuring Maisie Dobbs, must have been sewn. I'll be telling you more about the book in the new year. Until then, I wish you a very good Holiday season. May you be blessed with peace and comfort, with joy and good cheer, and may you be close to those you love and who love you in return—even if that closeness is a good old chat on Skype. Gone are the days when a call overseas had to be booked days in advance! Many blessings, Jacqueline LEAVING EVERYTHING MOST LOVED by Jacqueline Winspear, will be published on March 26th by Harper Collins Publishers. You can pre-order it here:
