I gave up on Maisie, too. I don't think I've ever run across a more humorless character and the many historical anachronisms drove me crazy . Nothing takes me out of a story faster.
I preferred Charles Todd's Inspector Rutledge series to their Bess Crawford series.
I'm listening to
Vanity Fair, read by John Castle, which is delightful and
Between Two Worlds: How the English Became Americans, read by Gildart Jackson, which is interesting but I wish the timeline weren't all over the place.
