Jacqueline Winspear Biography

Jacqueline Winspear was born and raised in the county of Kent England. Following higher education at the University of London's Institute of Education Jacqueline worked in academic publishing in higher education and in marketing communications in the UK.
She emigrated to the United States in 1990 and while working in business and as a personal / professional coach Jacqueline embarked upon a life-long dream to be a writer.
A regular contributor to journals covering international education Jacqueline has published articles in women's magazines and has also recorded her essays for KQED radio in San Francisco. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and is a regular visitor to the United Kingdom and Europe.
Jacqueline's grandfather was severely wounded and shell-shocked at The Battle of the Somme in 1916 and it was as she understood the extent of his suffering that even in childhood Jacqueline became deeply interested in the war to end all wars and its aftereffects. As an adult her interest deepened to the extent that though she did not set out to write a war novel it came as no surprise that this part of history formed the backdrop of Maisie Dobbs and other books in the series. The unique and engaging character of Maisie Dobbs is very much a woman of her generation. She has come of age at a time when women took on the toil of men and claimed independence that was difficult to relinquish. It was a time when many women remained unmarried simply because a generation of men had gone to war and not come home.
