From the bestselling author of Life After Life, a new novel that explores the repercussions of one young woman's espionage work during World War II.

In 1940, eighteen-year-old Juliet Armstrong is reluctantly recruited into the world of espionage. Sent to an obscure department of MI5 tasked with monitoring the comings and goings of British Fascist sympathizers, she discovers the work to be by turns tedious and terrifying. But after the war has ended, she presumes the events of those years have been relegated to the past forever.

Ten years later, now a radio producer at the BBC, Juliet is unexpectedly confronted by figures from her past. A different war is being fought now, on a different battleground, but Juliet finds herself once more under threat. A bill of reckoning is due, and she finally begins to realize that there is no action without consequence.

Nothing but the implied happens until chapter 16. Ms Armstrong did so much more than we are told.

I was sadly disappointed in this book! The ending seemed rushed and not thought through and did not connect with the rest of the book. Would not recommend. Huge disappointment.

Not worth the purchase - the ending ruined the book
