kali76 's review for:
Transcription
by Kate Atkinson
I love love love female spy stories, such as Restless by William Boyd, The Alice Network by Kate Quinn and The Traitor's Girl by Christine Wells -- and I love love love Kate Atkinson novels. I think I self-hyped Transcription a little, as I found the ending unsatisfying. However, for the most part, I enjoyed the story of a typist hired to transcribe bugged conversations of British fifth columnists. I probably preferred the sections set in 1950 at the BBC, and would have loved more of the story set during this period. I think I found the relationships between the spies and handlers confusing.
