Kate Atkinson has been on my "To Read" List for a long time now. After reading her latest, Transcription (#781), she's moved up a notch or two on my list. This was a great book to read on a plane because I was totally absorbed in it.
A young woman is recruited during World War II to work for The Service - MI5. Her job is to transcribe the audio recordings made during secret meetings with disaffected British citizens who think they are helping the Nazis. But things soon go beyond mere typing, and the repercussions of her work will haunt Juliet Armstrong for the rest of her life.
I must admit I did not see the final twist coming, which heightened its impact. A terrific read.
