An Anglican bishop's daughter gets in over her head with British Intelligence in this John le Carre-esque caper from the author of Atonement. Brash, bookish Serena just might make a perfect spy-if she can keep her heart under wraps.
That ending is really satisfying. :)
I fussed while reading this and almost stopped. A review said that it was the author's first female protagonist in awhile. I thought, "Obviously! This isn't how a woman thinks or feels, what motivates her. It's how men think she would think or feel, what motivates her." I stuck with it and by the end, I loved the book. It became compulsive and I recommend it.
