**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**

“[Atkinson] boasts an immaculate prose style, a dry wit and a taste for narrative legerdemain. A thrilling tale of post–World War II London, where the peace proves as tricky to navigate as the past, from the #1 international bestselling author of Life After Life. This splendid historical farce proves her versatility as well.” —The Wall Street Journal When crime correspondent turned war reporter Harry Flynn returns to Britain from Singapore in 1945, he takes a quiet job with the Festival of Britain, a government-funded endeavor aimed at celebrating the nation’s creativity, grit, and ingenuity. There, he joins a team of misfits and eccentrics as they help to ready the Festival for launch.
