Title : Behind the Scenes at the Museum - Kate Atkinson - book
Summary :
From the very moment of her conception, one night in 1951, little Ruby Lennox began to see, to understand, to feel. In particular, she knew that she would have been better left alone...
And here she is, telling us, with devastating lucidity and humor, her story, that of her parents, George and Bunty, small shopkeepers from York, of her sisters, of an entire average English family – but certainly not ordinary.
Better still, Ruby travels back in time, so that images from the entire 20th century mingle with England in the 1950s and 1960s.
Upon its publication in England, this first novel by Kate Atkinson was hailed as a masterpiece, for the subtlety of its construction and the irresistible verve of its writing. In France, the editorial staff of Read voted it the best book of the year.
