So accessible, but with rewarding depth and complexity, reminding me so much of Muriel Spark, but very much her own glorious voice Kate Atkinson's Transcription was a most enjoyable read. The story and its telling pulls in the reader straightway, with pace and humour, not knowing where we are going - if anywhere - a mystery tour with great views on the way. I found it well worth the journey. Here is the Guardian newspaper review.
Thank you Olga, I will look for it. I have read some of her other books, but have not always been glad that I did so.
ReplyDeleteSandy, in many ways I do not like recommending books, films, etc. because we all have such different tastes. I have enjoyed everything of Kate Atkinson's I have read - I love her off kilter approach.
DeleteThank you Olga. Your review is most reassuring!
ReplyDeleteMargaret, I hope that you enjoy it.
