Juliet Armstrong, a nineteen year old orphan, joined the M15
in London during the years of World War II.
Her prime occupation is to sit in an apartment and type up
transcriptions of the traitorous conversations taking place right next
door. As she becomes even more enmeshed
in spying, she starts to imagine nefariousness in every interaction. Kate Atkinson’s writing is not for the
skimmer. Her ability to jump around in
time several times a paragraph and her witty asides make close reading
imperative. I’m not sure I liked this
one quite as much as Time after Time
or even A God in Ruins but I definitely
enjoyed the process of decoding the story.
I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for
an honest review.
