Transcription by Kate Atkinson
4.0
I both read and listened to this one. I really like the world Atkinson created -- I really got a sense of London during WWII leading up to the Blitz. I also loved the main character Juliet. I was reading along and realized that I really liked hanging out in her head, seeing how she reacted to the world.
What was interesting and has stuck with me is the idea of transcription. Juliet was the transcriptionist for a spy operation in Dolphin Square during the war, and the narrator is the transcriptionist for the novel. What is transcribed and what was left out still has me thinking.
