Behind the Scenes at the Museum
Kate Atkinson
Whitbread Book of the Year, 1995. Ruby was born while her father was in the pub. Her mother, Bunty, had never wanted to marry him, and dreamt of being swept off to America by a romantic hero, but instead, was stuck in a flat with her three children. This is the family's story.






The real problem with this book is the standard of writing. It's a brilliant story, it's original and riveting and hence this novel overcomes the quality of the words within it. Unfortunately her other books do not.

No groups are currently reading this book.
