MI5 AND ME: A Coronet Among the Spooks

When Lottie is summoned to her father's office at the age of eighteen, she is astonished to learn that this aloof, unexciting parent is a spy. This unique memoir is a window into 1950s Britain: a country where Russian agents infiltrate the highest echelons and where debutantes are typists and where Englishness is both a nationality and a code of behavior.
