Transcription
German sympathizers in 1940s London weren’t just ferocious fascists and brilliant double-agents. The movement’s backbone was bourgeois housewives and average tradesmen focused on preserving the status quo. It’s into this absolutely boring network that 18-year-old Juliet Armstrong is first drafted to be a spy. Following days of clerical drudgery and nights prowling the streets during blackouts, Juliet’s ambitions for “real” espionage work are fulfilled…in ways she can’t shake, even decades later. In her 10th novel, Kate Atkinson returns to the world of World War II, proving her singular talent for writing historical fiction that makes us forget we’re not reading an eyewitness account.
