Transcription
by Kate Atkinson
I was eager to get my hands on Transcription because Life After Life is one of the best books I've read in the past five years. While Transcription did not quite exceed the high bar Kate Atkinson had set for herself in my mind, I still really enjoyed this book. I appreciated that even though it was about WWII, it had some levity to it, thanks to the narration style that puts you in the head of the very wry protagonist, Juliet. There's also a spy element that made the book hard to put down for the last third or so. And at just around 300 pages, it's a quick read! However, I'm still chewing over the ending, which I won't spoil here. I'd like to go back and see if I can find hints of the twist throughout. Overall: recommend.
