sarah_richmond 's review for:
Transcription
by Kate Atkinson
A 5-star read until the very end when I was left thinking, 'is that it?!'
I adore Kate Atkinson and Transcription was very Kate Atkinson-y, with all her usual trademarks : war and its aftermath, life and its aftermath, multifaceted charming characters, just so much delightful humour. Juliet had me laughing out loud every few pages! I'm a sucker for war novels, the BBC and it's stiff-upper-lip, and female spies as protagonists...it's like Atkinson had a paint-by-numbers for A Book Sarah Would Love and she followed it exactly. Thanks Kate!
But. The end was so abrupt! A little more meta than I was expecting and my tired brain needs a few more days to process the layers.
