Leaving Everything Most Loved
by Jacqueline Winspear
This Maisie Dobbs mystery had a lot to say about xenophobia, prejudice, and the lasting trauma of war and abuse. All good things! This is the 10th installment, and it felt like a series conclusion, even though I know that there's more Maisie to come. (I am just barreling my way through this series, and it's going to be such a letdown when I reach the end of the road.)
I don't know if the content matter of this book pricked my ears more, but I swear that the author used the phrase "Indian summer" like 5 times throughout. And maybe that's not a lot, but it definitely hit my ear harder than it would normally. I listened to the audio version, and I felt a little weird listening to a white actress do multiple Indian accents. I'm not sure how it could have been avoided, but still.
