Reviews

True story of an English woman who questions the way governments go about national security.

Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice

I loved the constant shifting to and fro in time between the younger...woman of principle and the older woman faced with the daunting prospect of finally paying for those principles.

Matthew Bond, The Mail on Sunday

While Joan's early years are absolutely fascinating, it is the refreshing concept of Dench's elderly communist agent that gives this drama its real bite and edge.
