She obviously was in lust with him while he had other interests in mind, however, he still cared for her just not in the way she wanted.
Let’s talk about Juliet’s dynamic with Perry.Why do you think Juliet lied so much in her interview with Morton? Why do you think they hired her?.Which story lines were you most engaged with and why?.Let’s evaluate Juliet in the time different time periods and how she grew and evolved.What did you think about this story structure and different time periods when it comes to story flow? The story starts off in 1981 and jumps back to 1940 and then moves to 1950 for a good chunk before finishing back in the ’80s.There’s also a time jump to the 1950s when she’s working on educational radio programs for the BBC and her past comes back to the haunt her. Juliet transcribes the secretly recorded conversations that took place with an undercover MI5 agent. Her job is to monitor the comings and goings of British Fascist sympathizers. Addressed to Juliet, the notes warn that “you will pay for what you did.The story follows Juliet Armstrong, who was recruited when she was 18 to join the British Secret Service during WWII. Adding to the weirdness are those anonymous notes that someone has begun dropping off at the BBC. She senses she is being followed: A man with a pockmarked face and a woman wearing a headscarf garishly decorated with parrots keep popping up. Scattered in between are long sections of the story set in 1950, when Juliet is employed by BBC radio as a producer of educational programs with titles such as the “Explorers’ Club” and “English for the Under-Nines.” But all is not well in Juliet’s placid and somewhat dull postwar world. The very first page of “Transcription” opens on Juliet’s death in 1981 - a death we witness with different emotions when we return to the scene briefly at the very end of the novel. Atkinson’s many fans know better than to expect a straightforward chronological narrative from her instead, she prefers to jump around, intensifying the poignancy of her characters’ lives by giving her readers godlike glimpses of how they will eventually turn out.
