About Our Noble Selves by Kate Atkinson
Set in the summer of 1951, Our Noble Selves follows foreign correspondent and war reporter Harry Flynn as he tries to find his footing in postwar Britain. With his journalism career stalled, he joins an unlikely team preparing the Festival of Britain, a national celebration of creativity, grit and ingenuity.
When a woman Flynn has been dating disappears and he is believed to be the last person to have seen her, his uncertain return to civilian life becomes entangled with a mystery. The novel brings together postwar history, literary fiction and mystery, with a precocious thirteen-year-old named Veronica and a scruffy terrier, Mrs Betty, among those connected to the search for answers. It may suit readers interested in mid-century Britain, the Festival of Britain and character-led historical mysteries.
