Editorial Note – I was given a copy of Kate Atkinson’s Transcription in return for a review.
Transcription by Kate Atkinson is a story of WWII espionage, betrayal and loyalty.
Here’s the synopsis:
[blockquote align=”none” author=””]
In 1940, eighteen-year old Juliet Armstrong is reluctantly recruited into the world of espionage. Sent to an obscure department of MI5 tasked with monitoring the comings and goings of British Fascist sympathizers, she discovers the work to be by turns both tedious and terrifying. But after the war has ended, she presumes the events of those years have been relegated to the past forever.
[/blockquote]
Okay, so the synopsis is brief but intriguing. I can’t wait to read this. Thank you to Little, Brown and Company and NetGalley for the advanced copy!
A bit about the author: Kate Atkinson won the Whitbread (now Costa) Book of the Year prize with her first novel, Behind the Scenes at the Museum. Her four bestselling novels featuring former detective Jackson Brodie became the BBC television series Case Histories, starring Jason Isaacs. Her 2013 novel Life After Life won the South Bank Sky Arts Literature Prize, was shortlisted for the Women’s Prize, and voted Book of the Year for the independent booksellers associations on both sides of the Atlantic. It also won the Costa Novel Award, as did her subsequent novel A God in Ruins (2015).
