Transcription follows Juliet Armstrong, a young woman recruited by MI5 during World War II to transcribe conversations between British fascist sympathizers and an undercover agent. Years later, as Juliet works for the BBC, shadows of her past begin to resurface, revealing secrets, betrayals, and unexpected consequences.

Blending historical espionage with psychological insight and dry wit, Kate Atkinson crafts a layered narrative that explores the lingering effects of wartime deception and the blurred lines between truth and illusion.
