Transcription

In wartime, Juliet Armstrong did small, ordinary things — and now, years later, those small things are coming back for her.

In 1940, eighteen-year-old Juliet is recruited by MI5 to transcribe the recordings of undercover agents. It seems safe, even dull — until it isn't. Ten years later, working at the BBC, Juliet realises her past is following her. Kate Atkinson's brilliant spy novel moves between timelines with characteristic elegance, exploring complicity, memory, and the ordinary heroism of people who did what was asked of them.

This is a story about the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of who we have been — and the moment when that comfort is no longer available. Deeply satisfying and quietly devastating.

A superb read for lovers of literary spy fiction and Kate Atkinson fans — note this is adult fiction, best suited to mature readers aged 16 and up.
