Careless Talk
The only British person to be sentenced to death for treason in WW2 was a landlady on the Isle of Wight who was only pretending to be a spy for devilment. Based on these events, Mabel. a self-avowed historical figure outraged at having to write her own story, nevertheless attacks the task with a blackly comic glee. From her mother's death - a death rehearsed with some vigour - to her own trial, imprisonment and eventual release, Mabel Daley Bancroft insists on her place in world history. Expect high treason, espionage, spam fritters and useful advice on housekeeping and life in general.
