A Lesson in Secrets by Jacqueline Winspear

It is 1932 in this book and Maisie is tasked with being a teacher/spy at a college that appears to teach the practice of peaceful resistance. The British government suspects there is more than meets the eye with this establishment and it turns out, there is, but not quiet the way they expect.
Times are changing and not just for Maisie and the people around her. Being on the other side of history when this book was written means that we know what happens in the upcoming years, but our characters don't. If you remove that knowledge from your brain while reading this, you will find that it is interesting how attuned Maisie is to "feelings" and that she senses that things can go very wrong if certain groups/people are not taken seriously.
I don't know when or where the next book takes us, but we are slowly creeping towards the beginning of WWII and I'm interested to see how this will affect, not just the daily lives of these characters, but how Maisie will handle it, having lived through the WWI.
