Juliet Armstrong is a naive, young woman, recruited by MI5 during WWII. She is drawn in a complicated web of operations which remain light-hearted thanks her constant day-dreaming and despite complications which highlight the harsh reality of war. The story then takes a turn, and while all the excitement seems far behind, the pace picks up again to an unexpected ending.
Atkinson does a good job of maintaining the reader's interest with a dash of humour. Juliet is true to her nature until the end: clever, idealistic, and ever-resourceful.
A fun, light read.
