About MI5 and Me: A Coronet Among the Spooks

‘It seems to me now that everyone who came to our house in those days was a spy… ‘ When Lottie is summoned to her father’s office aged eighteen, she is astonished that this aloof, unexciting parent is a spy.

Even more perturbing is his view that she should stop drifting around working for the sort of people her mother could never ask to dinner and get a proper job, something patriotic and worthwhile. So Lottie finds herself outside MI5’s Mayfair headquarters in a dreary suit, feeling naked without her false eyelashes. Miserably assigned to the formidable Dragon, Lottie longs to escape or anything to release her from the torment of typing. Thankfully the serene Arabella is on hand to decode the enigma of office life – from the strange disappearance of some security films to the career-transforming properties of garlic. But as Lottie’s home fills with actors doubling as spies, and Arabella’s mother is besieged by fishy telephone calls, Lottie begins to feel well and truly spooked.

Discretion and honour meet secrecy and suspicion in this enchanting, extraordinary and hilarious true story. From the bestselling author comes a beguiling comic memoir about a young woman who discovers her father is a spy (and was the model for John le Carre’s George Smiley) and goes to work as a secretary in 1950s MI5.
