Regarding narrators, Julie Teal is easier for me to listen to than Orlagh Cassidy was: Teal doesn’t inject ‘wearied depression’ into everything Maisie Dobbs says as Orlagh seemed to.
I’m not an expert on Unitarianism, but Jacqueline Winspear’s books seem to have a similar Unitarian tone to her books, or do they embrace spiritualism (?), which is not unlike Dorothy Gilman’s writing.
I enjoyed the more secure, maturing, Maisie in this book; her character seems to have a greater depth than the Maisie I’ve encountered in earlier books. Though not much is really happening in her personal life in To Die But Once, the book is certainly a busy read with a collection of plots and sub-plots.
Extra info: Priscilla seems to curse a lot in this book – hard to skip on audio – there is no obscene language though.
