Transcription by Kate Atkinson

Layered and spirited, this is a spy novel unlike any I’ve known. Juliet is a young woman in the service of MI5 who is easy to relate to. She offers witty thoughts and wry observations as she suffers through what begins as a truly boring wartime assignment. Atkinson raises the stakes of Juliet’s circumstances to tremendous effect, poignantly displaying the repercussions that one’s actions may have, both predictable and not. This is another brilliant work by a groundbreaking author.
