What Maisie Knew (radio play)

A radio play based on the novel of the same name. After her parents' divorce, the court decides that young Maisie will live in joint custody. As a result, she becomes a pawn in her parents' ongoing battle. The story unfolds through the child's perspective, mixing naivety with sharp, evaluative observations. Both parents find new partners, and their relationships enter new, increasingly surprising combinations. Maisie finds greater understanding from her step-parents, her old governess, and other household staff.
