  • An excellent read

    I did not particularly enjoy "Life After Life" but persevered with "Behind the Scenes at the Museum" as Kate Atkinson is an award winning author. I was not disappointed with this book. Excellent. Taste is subjective but one should never decide that one "does not like a particular author" without trying more than one book.

  • Still as good as the first time I read it.

    It seems eons ago when I first read this book. Browsing for another title I spied this by accident and impulsively purchased a copy. So this was a pure indulgent re-read for me, taking a nostalgic trip to observe what life had to throw at the generations of the Lennox family - and it chucked quite a variety at them, let me tell you! It felt much like a domestic comedy in places, the little things siblings do and say etc., while other moments show another side not to be revealed in public for reasons of shame or blame. Can't for the life of me think what I did with my old copy, but I'm pleased to have a new version on my bookshelf again (complete with spiteful parrot on the cover!). And totally delighted with the quality too - no creases, marks or bent pages :)
